Abstract

A method is studied for measuring the blooflow in retinal vessels using laser speckle phenomena. The intensity fluctuation of speckles scattered from red blood cells in a retinal vessel is detected in the magnified image plane, and analyzed by the photon correlator which gives us the relative velocity of the blood flow. The experiments were performed to evaluate the bloodflow velocity in a glass capillary and in the retinal vessels of a rabbit and human volunteers. The results show that the bloodflow in retinal vessels can be measured by using laser speckles.
