Doppler optical coherence tomography (DOCT) is a valuable tool for depth-resolved flow measurements in tissue. However, DOCT is insensitive to flow in the direction normal to the imaging beam and requires knowledge of the phase of the demodulated signal. We present an alternative method of extracting flow information, using speckle of conventional amplitude optical coherence tomography images. ...

The understanding of cytoskeleton dynamics has benefited from the capacity to generate fluorescent fiducial marks on cytoskeleton components. Here we show that light-induced imprinting of three-dimensional (3D) fluorescent speckles significantly improves speckle signal and contrast relative to classic (random) fluorescent speckle microscopy. We predict theoretically that speckle imprinting usin...

Objective: Assessment of left atrium (LA) deformation by 2-Dimensional Speckle Strain Imaging (2DSI) has been recently proposed as an alternative method of exploring LA function. The purpose of this study was to assess the relationship of LA function, particularly reservoir function, with LA structural remodeling related to left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) in patients with hypertension (HTN) ...

BACKGROUND Several studies have demonstrated that uremic patients who have preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) could still have the potential for systolic dysfunction. The aim of this study was to assess the differences between the left ventricular (LV) myocardial function in hemodialysis and nondialysis uremic patients based on three-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiograph...

We prospectively evaluated real-time ultrasound speckle tracking for monitoring soft tissue motion for image-guided radiotherapy. Two human volunteers and 1 patient with a proven hepatocellular carcinoma, who was being prepared for radiation therapy treatment, were scanned using a clinical ultrasound scanner modified to acquire and store radiofrequency signals. Scans were performed of the liver...

The average velocity of water flow has been simultaneously measured with fluorescent and speckle imaging methods. The measured velocities with two methods are in good agreement with each other and it confirms that the speckle imaging method can be used as a confident method to measure the velocity of water flow in a dry leaf. Also the velocity of water flow through thick and thin xylems of a le...
