Pulsatile Flow Measurement by a Speckle Triangle Assessment

The blood flow in the coronary artery (CA) is pulsatile and much higher than that measured in the brain, retina, and skin before. Its quantitative measurement is medically significant in the coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Here, to the best of our knowledge, we first detect the pulsatile flo...

Pulsatile Flow Measurement by a Speckle Triangle Assessment
description The blood flow in the coronary artery (CA) is pulsatile and much higher than that measured in the brain, retina, and skin before. Its quantitative measurement is medically significant in the coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Here, to the best of our knowledge, we first detect the pulsatile flow using the laser speckle contrast imaging technique. Since the factors influencing the flow rate in the CA are complex, we developed a comprehensive model, a speckle triangle assessment (STA), to assess the characteristics of the flow: the speckle flow index (SFI), mean flow index (MFI), and pulsatility index (PI). The phantom experiment was performed and found that our customized setup possessed high dynamic range of the velocity measurement with good sensitivity. It also indicated that the pulsatile flow estimated by the speckle triangle assessment is promising to obtain a more accurate assessment of a coronary artery’s patency in the CABG.
