Popis: We have studied the influence of an external mechanical compression on diffuse reflection spectra of skin tissue under in vivo conditions. An analysis of these spectra based on the diffusion approximation of the radiation transfer theory has allowed us to find that the application of the external compression weakens absorbing and scattering properties of skin tissue. After the removal of the compression, the recovery time of the skin tissue (on the order of 1 h) considerably exceeds the stabilization time of its parameters after application of external mechanical compression (several minutes). In this case, at the initial moment of time after the removal of the compression, the fullness of blood vessels and the degree of oxygenation of blood hemoglobin in the skin tissue increase considerably compared to normal skin.
