Laser Speckle Contrast Imaging (LSCI) is a wide field of view, non scanning optical
technique for observing blood flow. Speckles are produced when coherent light scattered …

Laser speckle is a complex interference phenomenon that can easily be understood, in
concept, but is difficult to predict mathematically, because it is a stochastic process. The use …

Dynamic light scattering (DLS) and laser speckle contrast imaging (LSCI) are closely related
techniques that exploit the statistics of speckle patterns, which can be utilized to measure …
