Handheld versus mounted laser speckle contrast perfusion imaging demonstrated in psoriasis lesions

Abstract Enabling handheld perfusion imaging would drastically improve the feasibility of perfusion imaging in clinical practice. Therefore, we examine the performance of handheld laser speckle contrast imaging (LSCI) measurements compared to mounted measurements, demonstrated in psoriatic skin. A p...
