  • METHODS OF PRODUCING LASER SPECKLE CONTRAST IMAGES
    Publication number: 20150049178
    Abstract: Methods of imaging are provided. In some embodiments, the methods may comprise obtaining a raw speckle image of a sample, converting the raw speckle image to a laser speckle contrast image using a laser speckle contrast algorithm, and converting a laser speckle contrast image to a relative correlation time image using a relative correlation time algorithm.
