Impact of velocity distribution assumption on simplified laser speckle imaging equation

Abstract: Since blood flow is tightly coupled to the health status of biological tissue, several instruments have been developed to monitor blood flow and perfusion dynamics. One such instrument is laser speckle imaging. The goal of this study was to evaluate the use of two velocity distribution assumptions (Lorentzian-and Gaussian-based) to calculate speckle flow index (SFI) values. When the normalized autocorrelation function for the Lorentzian and Gaussian velocity distributions satisfy the same definition of correla… Show more

“…Speckle patterns have been used extensively for a variety of metrology applications including surface roughness [2], strain measurement [3] and fluid flow [4][5][6][7][8]. The second-order statistics of a speckle pattern provide a description of the spatial structure of the pattern, with the minimum size of a speckle, or the minimum correlation length of the pattern, being an important parameter in the characterization of this structure [9].…”

“…As pointed out by Boas and Dunn in their recent review [6], as yet speckle contrast flowmetry modeling has focused on retrieving velocity information of scattering particles rather than their flux which includes concentration [7][8][9]. The presence of a static speckle component is usually not taken into account, with two recent exceptions [9,10].…”

“…Various optical and image processing methods have been proposed for enhancing the contrast of LSCI in subcutaneous blood flow measurements [1,[8][9][10][11][12][13]. However, LSCI still suffers from low image contrast, although the limitation of laser penetration depth in tissue due to the light scattering property has been partially addressed.…”
