There has been a consistent growth in research involving imaging of microvasculature over
the past few decades. By 2008, publications mentioning the microcirculation had grown …

The microvasculature presents a particular challenge in physiological measurement
because the vessel structure is spatially inhomogeneous and perfusion can exhibit high …

Microcirculation plays a crucial role in physiological processes of tissue oxygenation and
nutritional exchange. Measurement of microcirculation can be applied on many organs in …

Vascular imaging with color and power Doppler is a useful tool in the assessment of various
disease processes. Assessment of blood flow, from infarction and ischemia to hyperemia, in …

Dynamic light scattering (DLS) is a well known experimental approach uniquely suited for
the characterization of small particles undergoing Brownian motion in randomly …

We propose a Doppler optical micro-angiography (DOMAG) method to image flow velocities
of the blood flowing in functional vessels within microcirculatory tissue beds in vivo. The …

Optical microangiography (OMAG) is a recently developed volumetric imaging technique
that is capable of producing 3-D images of dynamic blood perfusion within microcirculatory …

Blood flow patterns are closely linked to the morphology and function of the cardiovascular
system. These patterns reflect the exceptional adaptability of the cardiovascular system to …
