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.

Decreased cerebral blood flow and hemodynamic parameters during acute hyperglycemia in mice model observed by dual‐wavelength speckle imaging

TL;DR: The findings indicate that acute hyperglycemia modified brain hemodynamic response and induced significant changes in blood flow and metabolism.

Influence of wavefront types on movement artefacts in handheld laser speckle contrast perfusion imaging

TL;DR: It is shown that the scrambled waves made by often-used engineered diffusers lead to significantly larger movement artefacts than planar or spherical waves.

Deep Learning-Based Image Analysis for the Quantification of Tumor-Induced Angiogenesis in the 3D In Vivo Tumor Model—Establishment and Addition to Laser Speckle Contrast Imaging (LSCI)

TL;DR: The CAM assay application appears to be a useful method for the quantification of angiogenesis in the CAM model and gluconate could be a potential treatment of angiosarcomas.

Exercise and Repeated Testing Improves Accuracy of Laser Doppler Assessment of Microvascular Function Following Shortened (1-minute) Blood Flow Occlusion.

TL;DR: To determine whether stability/accuracy of post‐occlusive LDF following shortened, one‐minute blood flow occlusion, increases in the post‐exercise state or by averaging multiple measurements, averages multiple measurements are averaged.

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.
