Abstract
This paper presents a new method of blood flow imaging in vessels within and underneath the skin. The combination of Laser Speckle Contrast Imaging (LSCI) and Spatial Frequency Domain Imaging (SFDI)/ Structured Illumination Microscopy (SIM) allows one to retrieve a substantial amount of flow information, which is otherwise occluded by the skin. In this article, the experiment consists of illuminating a phantom with coherent light passing through a grid pattern which is modulated at the plane of interest. The speckle pattern is then imaged and processed using a combination of structured illumination sectioning and laser speckle contrast. The whole process is realized using an inexpensive setup consisting of a laser diode (Wavelength = 758 nm), mirrors, lenses, a grid and an 8-bit camera. This advanced, yet easy to implement, technique will allow deep skin imaging to be fast, effective and inexpensive.
