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.

Establishing diffuse speckle contrast signal relationship with blood flow

TL;DR: In this article, the reduction in speckle contrast due to shear-induced motions is studied by theory and Monte Carlo simulations, and the quantitative relationship between speckles contrast and absolute blood flow in a realistic vascular network is established.

Adjustment of the cerebral and peripheral blood flow dynamics at the pre-stroke stage

TL;DR: Using the laser speckle contrast imaging and the wavelet-based multifractal analysis, the adjustment of the numerical measures characterizing the blood flow dynamics at the pre-stroke stage is revealed and a hypothesis about a pathological synchronization is suggested.

Imaging sensor research for viscoelastic detection of composite resin

TL;DR: The results showed that the composite resin cured ideally in the ninth second and exhibited a high linear correlation (r =0.965, p = 0.007 81).

Quadratic Discriminant Analysis Performance for Blood Flow Prediction in Speckle Imaging

Pankaj Jain
TL;DR: In this article , Quadratic Discriminant Analysis (QDA) was used to predict flow in speckle contrast imaging. But, the accuracy of 96%, recall of 97.9%, and specificity of 56%, the study demonstrated that quadratic discriminant analysis is the most precise technique that must be considered for flow prediction.

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.
