Abstract

A co-registered speckle contrast optical tomography and frequency domain-diffuse optical tomography system has been designed for imaging total hemoglobin concentration, blood oxygenation, and blood flow with the future aim of monitoring Jones fractures of the fifth metatarsal. Experimental validation was performed using both in vitro tissue-mimicking phantoms and in vivo cuff occlusion experiments. Results of these tissue phantom experiments ensure accurate recovery of three-dimensional distributions of optical properties and flow. Finally, cuff occlusion experiments performed on one healthy human subject demonstrate the system's ability to recover both decreasing tissue oxygenation and blood flow as caused by an arterial occlusion.
