Abstract
The present invention is to provide a hypodermic vein detection imaging apparatus capable of visualizing a vein under the skin. The hypodermic vein detection system according to the present invention comprises a hypodermic vein detection imaging apparatus (10) comprising a dome-shaped holder (12), a plurality of infrared light sources (11) arranged at a uniform interval in a circumferential direction on the inner surface of the dome-shaped holder (12), a motor driving unit (13) for rotating the dome-shaped holder (12), teeth (14) meshing with the motor driving unit and formed on the dome-shaped holder (12), an optical zoom lens (15) positioned at the center of the top of the dome-shaped holder, an infrared transmitting filter (16) for filtering light transmitted through the optical zoom lens (15), a first image detector (17) receiving light filtered by the infrared transmitting filter (16), and an image display device (10) for visualizing digital image information obtained by the first image detector (17).
