Abstract

The report reviews individual-related variables (age, sex, race, anatomical site), intra- and inter-individual variation (temporal, physical and mental activity, food and drugs), and environment-related variables (air convection, temperature). Technical variation, instrument validation including a standard reactive hyperemia experiment, and a standard operating procedure are discussed and included in the guidelines.
