Abstract

The paper deals with theoretical and experimental research of the ambient light influence upon the measuring reliability of the perfusion maps by the laser Doppler method using the device PeriScan PIM 3. The main applicable result of the analysis is a set of recommendations for the standardization, the improving of reliability and the compactness of the blood perfusion measuring in the clinical practise. The improvement of examination brings more accurate results and contributes to the optimization of diagnostic process and therapy.

Highlights

  • The blood perfusion imaging by Laser Doppler Perfusion Imaging (LDPI) is a medical diagnostic imaging method which is based on the evaluation of the Doppler shift laser radiation which reflects itself from a moving blood elements typically erythrocytes by skin capillaries

  • The main impact of the analysis is assessing of the blood perfusion imaging in the context of the disturbing influence of the ambient light

  • The analysis is especially focused on the ambient light influence on the blood perfusion measurement in clinical practise on the University hospital in Ostrava

Summary

Introduction

The blood perfusion imaging by Laser Doppler Perfusion Imaging (LDPI) is a medical diagnostic imaging method which is based on the evaluation of the Doppler shift laser radiation which reflects itself from a moving blood elements typically erythrocytes by skin capillaries. This phenomenon creates the quantitative maps of the blood perfusion. This diagnostic method is frequently used in the burn medicine for objective and non-invasive assessing of the burn trauma range and depth. The Laser Doppler Imaging (LDI) specificity and the sensitivity of the burn depth are determined approximately 95 % [1] and [2]
