When laser light illuminates a diffuse object, it produces a random interference effect known
as a speckle pattern. If there is movement in the object, the speckles fluctuate in intensity …

Laser speckle is a complex interference phenomenon that can easily be understood, in
concept, but is difficult to predict mathematically, because it is a stochastic process. The use …

Laser speckle contrast imaging (LSCI) provides a rapid characterization of cortical flow
dynamics for functional monitoring of the microcirculation. The technique stems from …

Speckle contrast imaging enables rapid mapping of relative blood flow distributions using
camera detection of back-scattered laser light. However, speckle derived flow measures …

Increasing evidence has shown that mild hypothermia is neuroprotective for comatose
patients resuscitated from cardiac arrest, but the mechanism of this protection is not fully …

Chronic imaging of cerebral blood flow (CBF) is an important tool for investigating vascular
remodeling after injury such as stroke. Although techniques such as Laser Speckle Contrast …

Spreading depolarizations (SDs) occur spontaneously in the cerebral cortex of
subarachnoid hemorrhage, stroke or traumatic brain injury patients. Accumulating evidence …

Improved Laser Speckle Contrast Imaging (LSCI) blood flow analyses that incorporate
inverse models of the underlying laser-tissue interaction have been used to develop more …

Perinatal asphyxia (PA) is one of the leading causes of neonatal mortality and morbidity
worldwide. Despite the adequate neonatal resuscitation techniques, hypoxicischemic …

Laser speckle contrast imaging (LSCI) is a powerful tool for blood flow mapping. In this
paper, we described a simple algorithm based on histogram analysis of laser speckle …
