Photoplethysmography of the thumb by off-axis digital holography. pulsatile waves on the back of a frog measured by off-axis holographic photoplethysmography Remote photoplethysmography can also be performed by digital holography , which is sensitive to the phase of light waves, and hence can reveal sub-micron out-of-plane motion.
Stratosphere sign is a clinical medical ultrasound finding usually in an eFAST examination that can prove presence of a pneumothorax. The sign is an imaging finding using a 3.5–7.5 MHz ultrasound probe in the fourth and fifth intercostal spaces in the anterior clavicular line using the M-Mode of the machine.
