Abstract
This chapter introduces two popular laser-speckle-based methods, laser speckle contrast imaging (LSCI) and diffuse speckle contrast analysis (DSCA) for skin blood circulation characterization. LSCI images skin blood perfusion with large field of view but limited penetration depth. DSCA is a point measurement method that probes deep into the tissue. Both methods utilize laser speckles to measure the blood perfusion non-invasively. They have been explored in clinical studies, such as monitoring of laser treatment and study of cold-induced vasodilation. In the end of this chapter, the potential future directions for laser-speckle-based methods in skin applications are introduced.
