    Abstract: In order to puncture the artery running in parallel to the deep vein, a method or a tool for selectively visualizing the artery in a near-infrared image so as to form a near-infrared image of a portion to be punctured is provided. In the method for visualizing the artery by forming a near-infrared image of a portion of the artery to be punctured, the surface of the skin to be punctured is pressurized with a near-infrared light transparent material so as to collapse the deep vein running in parallel to the artery as well as the subcutaneous vein. An auxiliary tool for selectively visualizing the artery preferred for this pressurization is formed from a near-infrared light transparent material and has a notch through which a puncture needle can pass.
