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.

Evaluating anesthetic protocols for functional blood flow imaging in the rat eye

TL;DR: In this article, the suitability of five different anesthetic protocols (isoflurane, xylazine, pentobarbital, ketamine, and ketamine-xylazine-vecuronium) for functional blood flow imaging in the rat eye was evaluated.

Combined laser speckle imaging and fluorescent intravital microscopy for monitoring acute vascular permeability reaction

TL;DR: The obtained results suggest that a combined use of LSI and FIM is highly effective for monitoring the cutaneous vascular permeability reaction, with great potential for assessment of allergic reactions of skin in response to interactions with chemical substances.

Noncontact Three-dimensional Diffuse Optical Imaging of Deep Tissue Blood Flow Distribution

TL;DR: In this paper, a three-dimensional reflectance diffuse optical imaging of deep tissue blood flow distribution is proposed to remove the need for probe-tissue contact, thereby allowing for such technology to be applied to sensitive, vulnerable, damaged, or reconstructive tissue.

Target delivery of drug carriers in mice kidney glomeruli via renal artery. Balance between efficiency and safety.

TL;DR: Efficacy of fluorescent dye localization in the target kidney after intra-arterial administration is 9 times higher than in the opposite kidney and after intravenous injection, and a high level of fluorescent signal persists for 48 h indicating that fluorescent cargo accumulation in tissues.

Ergodic and non-ergodic regimes in temporal laser speckle imaging

Pavel Zakharov
- 15 Jun 2017 - 
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that temporal speckle statistics assessed within a finite time window might differ from the statistics of the Speckle ensemble, and the positive relation in the non-ergodic regime is an artifact of temporal statistics which is further quantify and describe the transition between two regimes.

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.
