Abstract
This talk highlights a novel instrument for real-time video-rate imaging of microcirculation blood flow. The instrument utilizes multi-exposure laser speckle contrast imaging (MELSCI) with a high-speed camera, custom integrated electronics, and machine learning for massive computational bandwidth. This instrument enables, for the first time, continuous in vivo imaging of blood flow at frame rates sufficiently high to track dynamic changes, with perfusion estimates strongly correlated with that of laser Doppler flowmetry (LDF). This is an important step enabling a better understanding of the role of the microcirculation in several cardiovascular diseases. A pilot study on healthy subjects is presented.
