...LASCI can be used for monitoring of port wine stain treatment [8], assessment of burn injuries [9] and diabetic foot ulcers [10], quantification of the Allen test [11], label free in vivo imaging of blood and lymph vessels [12] as well as skin roughness measurements [13]....

...aimed at imaging blood perfusion using ultrasound (US) [16,17], photoacoustic imaging (PA) [18–21], and laser speckle contrast imaging (LSCI) [22], as well as quantitative molecular imaging approaches using radiolabeled probes targeted at specific angiogenic biomarkers such as matrix metalloproteinases, VEGF isoforms, and αVβ3 integrin [23–31]....

...The trend for LSCI was obtained by a comparable procedure, but we report the ratio of signal from the right ischemic hindlimb to that of the left control hindlimb: 𝑟𝑟𝑡𝑡,𝑚𝑚 = ⟨𝑝𝑝𝑡𝑡,𝑚𝑚 (𝑅𝑅)⟩/⟨𝑝𝑝𝑡𝑡,𝑚𝑚 (𝐿𝐿) ⟩ where ⟨𝑝𝑝𝑡𝑡,𝑚𝑚 (𝑅𝑅)⟩ and ⟨𝑝𝑝𝑡𝑡,𝑚𝑚 (𝐿𝐿) ⟩ are perfusion averages over the boxes on right and left hindlimbs, respectively....

...In the LSCI images, the ratio between an ischemic right hindlimb region and its corresponding healthy left hindlimb region was computed, and their difference (plus unity, such that all values are relative to 1) was plotted....
