TLDR
This article reviews the recent blood flow measuring techniques in detail and ends with suggestions for future research in related areas.Abstract:
An adequate amount of blood supply is necessary for the proper functioning of all body organs as blood carries all the nutrients and oxygen that our body needs to stay healthy. Various diseases cause an impaired supply of blood to the organs. The measurement of the blood flow can therefore provide essential information for the diagnosis of diseases. Since changes in blood flow occurs with the very initial stage of disease, with a fast, reliable and noninvasive blood flow measurement technique, the physicians would be provided with new options for early disease diagnosis. Beginning with brief overview of early methods of blood flow measurement, this article reviews the recent blood flow measuring techniques in detail and ends with suggestions for future research in related areas.read more

Recent advances on the development of phantoms using 3D printing for imaging with CT, MRI, PET, SPECT, and ultrasound
TL;DR: This review addresses three main questions about the 3D printers currently in use, and their produced materials and probes the feasibility and easiness of “printing” radioactive or nonradioactive solutions during the printing process.

Geometric multiscale modeling of the cardiovascular system, between theory and practice
TL;DR: This review paper addresses the so called geometric multiscale approach for the numerical simulation of blood flow problems, from its origin (that the authors can collocate in the second half of '90s) to their days, and details the most popular numerical algorithms for the solution of the coupled problems.

Whole-body vibration and blood flow and muscle oxygenation: a meta-analysis.
TL;DR: Vibration type appears to be the most important factor influencing both muscle oxygenation and peripheral blood flow, and whole-body vibration was shown to positively influence peripheralBlood flow.

Photoplethysmography and its application in clinical physiological measurement.
TL;DR: Photoplethysmography is a simple and low-cost optical technique that can be used to detect blood volume changes in the microvascular bed of tissue and is often used non-invasively to make measurements at the skin surface.

Some fundamental properties of speckle
TL;DR: In this paper, the distribution of scale sizes in a speckle pattern (i.e., the Wiener spectrum) is investigated from a physical point of view, and it is shown that adding M uncorrelated speckles on an intensity basis can reduce the contrast by 1/√M.

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.
