<unk>  translumination or<unk> , has been applied in phlebology since 1996 by the surgeon Pedro Fernandes Neto, during ambulatory clinical exams (Brazil). The results were registered in annals of national and international congresses of angiology. It is a process of reflective image visualization of veins by the incidence of light, which reaches up to the superficial<unk>  system. It is an exam of static nature, however it is also a non-invasive method. For being a procedure of easy application and of low cost exam , it can be repeated when it is necessary, what becomes the process useful in the attendance of several pathological situations. Therefore, the use of this process for the obtaining of images with the generation of inconographic files, revealed to be of great importance for the attendance of several stages of<unk>  diseases, beside this facilitating the several treatment conducts, guiding with this, the choice of the best procedure. It is a new diagnostic procedure, still in phase of investigation and a deeper analysis is necessary, in relation to certain technical patterns of this new method. Another aspect is the optical physics. The<unk>  translumination is due to the refraction, absorption and reflection of light, whose principle is the dispersion and absorption of light colors. The color that is not absorbed is reflected and is the one that we can see. Therefore, the<unk>  translumination is based on the incidence of a luminous focus on the vein, where part of the light is absorbed and another reflected, supplying an image of the silhouette of the studied sanguine vase.
