Abstract
We propose an approach to measure heterogeneous velocities of red blood cells (RBCs) in capillary vessels using full-field time-varying dynamic speckle signals. The approach utilizes a low coherent laser speckle imaging system to record the instantaneous speckle pattern, followed by an eigen-decomposition-based filtering algorithm to extract dynamic speckle signal due to the moving RBCs. The velocity of heterogeneous RBC flows is determined by cross-correlating the temporal dynamic speckle signals obtained at adjacent locations. We verify the approach by imaging mouse pinna in vivo, demonstrating its capability for full-field RBC flow mapping and quantifying flow pattern with high resolution. It is expected to investigate the dynamic action of RBCs flow in capillaries under physiological changes.
