Abstract

The paper presents a system that may be used in a wide range of biomedical fields. The system can be applied in conjunction with different optical techniques: (a) holography, (b) moire method, (c) speckle techniques, (d) photoelasticity. The system has been built in such a way that an operator with average skills will be able to use it; data acquisition and processing are fast and almost automatic. A brief description of the system, its main components and the basic theory behind it, are given. The use of the system is illustrated with examples in orthopedics and in the cardio-vascular area.
