Predicting successful stellate ganglion block using laser speckle contrast imaging

Assessing paediatric scald injuries using Laser Speckle Contrast Imaging.

BACKGROUND The use of objective methods for assessment of burns is limited. Laser Speckle Contrast Imaging (LSCI) is a non-invasive technique for instant measurement of tissue perfusion, making it potentially valuable for early prediction of burn wound outcome. AIM To evaluate the influence of technical factors on perfusion and to measure perfusion in burns 0-14 days post-burn and compare thi...

Laser speckle contrast imaging of Raynaud phenomenon.

483 peripheral microcirculatory blood flow on a large area of the body.1 LSCI is user‐friendly and shows very good reproducibility as well as excellent spa‐ tial and temporal resolutions.2 In clinical studies, LSCI coupled with reactivity tests enable to esti‐ mate the endothelial and neurovascular function. We present the measurements of skin per‐ fusion assessed by LSCI in patients with pri‐ ...

Stellate ganglion block in glaucoma.

Imaging depth and multiple scattering in laser speckle contrast imaging.

Laser speckle contrast imaging (LSCI) is a powerful and simple method for full field imaging of blood flow. However, the depth dependence and the degree of multiple scattering have not been thoroughly investigated. We employ three-dimensional Monte Carlo simulations of photon propagation combined with high resolution vascular anatomy to investigate these two issues. We found that 95% of the det...

Nephron blood flow dynamics measured by laser speckle contrast imaging.

Tubuloglomerular feedback (TGF) has an important role in autoregulation of renal blood flow and glomerular filtration rate (GFR). Because of the characteristics of signal transmission in the feedback loop, the TGF undergoes self-sustained oscillations in single-nephron blood flow, GFR, and tubular pressure and flow. Nephrons interact by exchanging electrical signals conducted electrotonically t...
