Laser speckle contrast imaging (LSCI) provides images with high spatial and temporal resolution, albeit being fairly simple and cost-efficient. It is used for real-time imaging of microcirculatory blood flow in the brain, skin, kidneys, intestines, eyes and other tissues, in alert or anaesthetized patients. It is for example used to evaluate conditions where blood flow is particular importance, e.g. burns and other skin conditions, stroke, arthrosis and in neurosurgery.

Here at the Department of Biomedicine, we have experience using LSCI to evaluate neurovascular flow, both in stroke models and to evaluate differences in response to stimuli, and to register flow in heart disease models. The technique can readily be applied to other areas of research and we'd be happy to help you address your research questions.
