A method of measuring a Jugular Pulse property, comprising:mounting a device including an imager to the neck of a patientimaging the Jugular vein at an imaged location using the imager andanalyzing 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.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.
