A method of measuring a Jugular Pulse property, comprising:n mounting a device including an imager to the neck of a patient; imaging the Jugular vein at an imaged location using the imager; and analyzing at least one image provided by said imager to estimate at least one property of the Jugular Pulse. Optionally, said imager is a thermal imager. nn Optionally, the method comprises cooling tissue at said imaged location adjacent said vein using said device. In some embodiments, the device is designed to mount at a same neck axial position when disconnected and reattached and the system provided is designed to enforce the same body position to allow for comparable repeat measurements. |
