The underlying physics of speckle contrast imaging is reviewed, recent developments to improve the quantitative accuracy of blood flow measures are discussed and applications in neuroscience, dermatology and ophthalmology are reviewed.
Abstract
First introduced in the 1980s, laser speckle contrast imaging is a powerful tool for full-field imaging of blood flow. Recently laser speckle contrast imaging has gained increased attention, in part due to its rapid adoption for blood flow studies in the brain. We review the underlying physics of speckle contrast imaging and discuss recent developments to improve the quantitative accuracy of blood flow measures. We also review applications of laser speckle contrast imaging in neuroscience, dermatology and ophthalmology.

Design and characterization of a microfabricated hydrogen clearance blood flow sensor.

TL;DR: Microfabrication allows for the high-throughput production of reproducible devices that are capable of monitoring deep brain CBF with sub-minute resolution, and can resolve physiological changes occurring on a shorter timescale than existing gas clearance measurements.

Evaluation of biological speckle activity: Using variational mode decomposition

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the application of the variational mode decomposition (VM decomposition) in dynamic speckle sequences, which can obtain more selective information about the characteristics of speckles and isolate undesired covariates.

Quasiresonant diffusion of wave packets in one-dimensional disordered mosaic lattices

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors investigated the time evolution of wave packets incident on one-dimensional semi-infinite lattices with mosaic modulated random on-site potentials, which are characterized by the integer-valued modulation period κ and the disorder strength W .

Noninvasive Noncontact 3D Optical Imaging of Blood Flow Distributions in Animals and Humans

TL;DR: The modified and adapted scDCT system with flexible ROIs and imaging depths has the potential to be used in many preclinical and clinical settings for noninvasive assessment of tissue hemodynamics and viability.

Scattering spot imaging for the determination of optical and dynamical properties of viscoelastic media

TL;DR: In this article, a simple scheme for the assessment of optical as well as dynamical properties of viscoelastic media is presented, for the first time, using scattering spot imaging with a standard CCD camera at multiple exposure times and with a monochromatic continuous wave illuminance.

Spreading depression of activity in the cerebral cortex

TL;DR: In this article, an interesting response elicited by electrical stimulation was noticed in the cortex of rabbits, and the distinctive feature of this response was a marked, enduring reduction of the "spontaneous" electrical activity of the cortex.

Statistical properties of laser sparkle patterns

TL;DR: In this article, the first order statistics of the observed electric-field strength, the observed light intensity, and observed light phase are examined, and the autocorrelation functions of the complex field and intensity processes are investigated, and that of the electric field is found to be proportional to the Fourier transform of the light intensity distribution incident on the scattering surface.
