  • Publication number: 20240108225
    Abstract: A noncontact, multi-wavelength time-resolved laser speckle contrast imaging (MTR-LSCI) technique provides for continuous, fast and high-resolution 2D mapping of tissue blood flow (BF) and tissue blood oxygen saturation (StO2) at different depths of target tissue. MTR-LSCI illuminates the tissue with picosecond-pulsed, coherent, widefield light at least at two different wavelengths in the near-infrared range (600-1100 nm) and synchronizes a high-resolution, gated single-photon avalanche diode (SPAD) camera to capture BF and StO2 maps at different depths of target tissue, wherein the imaging depth depends on light propagation inside a tissue volume, captured by the time-gated camera. The reconstruction of BF and StO2 maps can be dramatically expedited by incorporating highly parallelized computation and convolution functions. The performance of MTR-LSCI was evaluated using head-simulating phantoms with known properties and in-vivo rodents with varied hemodynamic challenges to the brain.

  • Patent number: 10842422
    Abstract: A low-cost compact fiberless diffuse speckle contrast flowmeter includes a small laser diode and a 2-dimensional imaging device such as a charge coupled device (CCD) or complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) for directly contacting the tissue and measuring a parameter such as blood flow in a deep/thick volume of tissue (up to 10 mm depth). The small laser diode is fixed at a certain distance (0 to 20 mm) from the imaging device and directly contacts the tissue. Light emitted from the laser diode penetrates through the tissue and reflects back to the imaging device without passing through any lenses or fibers. One or more additional laser diodes may be added for producing light at different wavelengths, and the combination of measurements taken by the imaging device at the different wavelengths allows for measuring additional parameters, such as both blood flow and blood oxygenation.
