When laser light illuminates a diffuse object, it produces a random interference effect known
as a speckle pattern. If there is movement in the object, the speckles fluctuate in intensity …

The anatomy and physiology of the microcirculation in human skin are complex. Normal
cutaneous microcirculation is organized in two parallel plexuses with capillary loops …

Peripheral microvascular dysfunction has been described in many physiological and
pathological conditions. Owing to its accessibility, the cutaneous microcirculation provides a …

The microvasculature presents a particular challenge in physiological measurement
because the vessel structure is spatially inhomogeneous and perfusion can exhibit high …

Correlation mapping optical coherence tomography (cmOCT) is a recently proposed
technique that extends the capabilities of OCT to enable mapping of vasculature networks …

OBJECTIVE: We compared the inter-day reproducibility of post-occlusive reactive hyperemia
(PORH) assessed by single-point laser Doppler flowmetry (LDF) and laser speckle contrast …

Microcirculation plays a crucial role in physiological processes of tissue oxygenation and
nutritional exchange. Measurement of microcirculation can be applied on many organs in …

The fertilised chick egg and particularly its chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) have drawn
continuing interest in biomedicine and bioengineering fields, especially for research on …

Laser speckle is a complex interference phenomenon that can easily be understood, in
concept, but is difficult to predict mathematically, because it is a stochastic process. The use …
