▼ The primary purpose of this work is to optimize the illumination parameters used for
laser speckle imaging and investigate how spatial modulation of the light used for illumination can enhance the sampling volume. An in-line illumination scheme is detailed that removes the need to manually position a side mounted coherent light source, instead utilizing a polarizing beam splitter (PBS) and linear polarizer to illuminate the sample plane through the same objective used to collect the backscattered light. This method ensures repeated, robust interrogation of the sample plane and allows for control over the light intensity using the polarizing elements.
Spatial modulation of the illumination beam was then investigated as a method to increase the depth-penetration of LSCI. The premise was to use a focused beam of light, as opposed to a traditional wide-field beam, and illuminate the sample at various distances from the detector increasing the probability scattered photons sample deeper volumes. Single and two-point source configurations were used to image a microfluidic phantom with added static scattering layers to simulate different vessel depths. Varying the distance between the source and the detector, the camera field of view (FOV), we showed that it is possible to collect information from submerged vessels using a non-full field approach. This led to the design and implementation of an in-line, DMD-based illumination scheme that allows the projection and modulation of spatially complex illumination schemes.

▼ Ensuring adequate blood flow during surgical procedures is crucial, as prolonged ischemia can result in tissue death and lead to poor clinical outcomes. This is especially important during neurosurgery, since the brain relies on a constant supply of cerebral blood flow (CBF) to maintain normal function. Intraoperative blood flow monitoring tools are essential to detect ischemia in a timely manner, and allow surgical correction before the onset of irreversible brain injury.
Laser speckle contrast imaging (LSCI) is an optical
imaging method that provides blood flow maps with high spatiotemporal resolution, and overcomes many of the limitations of current intraoperative monitoring technologies. The objective of this dissertation is to demonstrate that LSCI is an effective tool for blood flow monitoring during neurosurgery, and to optimize and improve LSCI technology for clinical use.
This research has two primary elements: assessing the LSCI instrumentation components in a controlled laboratory setting, and evaluating the clinical performance of LSCI during neurosurgery. The laboratory study aims to determine the optimal specifications for the clinical instrument design, using controlled static and microfluidic flow experiments. Two of the main components of the LSCI instrument are the camera used for recording, and the
laser used for coherent illumination of the tissue. Thus, a broad camera and
laser comparison was performed spanning a wide array of available hardware options to determine which specifications are the most important for reliable and highly sensitive flow measurements. The two-phase clinical study aims to demonstrate the performance and utility of LSCI in a neurosurgical setting as a potential tool for real-time, continuous, and noninvasive image guidance. These studies demonstrate that LSCI can produce blood flow maps consistent with expected physiological trends, and show the impact of instrument design and image acquisition techniques on image quality and quantitative flow assessment. The results from both the laboratory and clinical studies can be used to design a more sensitive and robust LSCI system, which increases its value as an intraoperative tool for monitoring blood flow. LSCI has the potential to be the next generation of neurosurgical image guidance for blood flow visualization, and the work presented in this dissertation can accelerate its clinical adoption.

▼ Functional optical
imaging has become a powerful tool for measuring physiological parameters in the brain without disrupting normal physiology. Fluorescence lifetime
imaging (FLIM) has been shown to allow near real time mapping of oxygen tension in plasma (pO2), and
Laser Speckle Contrast Imaging (LSCI) has been demonstrated to provide qualitative assessments of blood flow in the cortex. However, as both of these methods provide physiological parameters based on the spatial sampling of photons arriving at a detector, it is crucially important to understand either where the photons originated, in the case of FLIM, or which moving particles the photons have sampled, in the case of LSCI. Traditionally, these questions have been difficult to solve because of the heterogeneity of the distribution of particles which contribute to the measured signal. In both FLIM and LSCI, for example, only the light which samples the intravascular space will contribute to the signal. While analytical methods have proven to be successful at predicting the
imaging depth of homogeneous materials, they are not able to predict
imaging depth when measuring a fluorophore or a moving particle that is only present inside blood vessels. Unlike analytical methods, numerical methods can be used to approximate light propagation in an arbitrary geometry. While both deterministic and stochastic models of light propagation can, and have been, successfully employed to determine light fluence in an arbitrary geometry, deterministic methods are not well suited to the task of simulating light propagation in large volumes of turbid media. For this reason, three dimensional Monte Carlo simulations of light propagation combined with high resolution vascular anatomy were used to directly simulate FLIM and LSCI in the brain. Using these simulations, the
imaging depth, degree of multiple scattering, and sensitivity of LSCI and FLIM to physiological changes were determined.

▼ Le vieillissement est un facteur de risque des maladies cardiovasculaires. Il est associé à des altérations fonctionnelles et structurelles du système vasculaire.Une étude approfondie du processus de vieillissement et le développement de systèmes d’imagerie et des traitements de données associés deviennent donc une priorité. Par l’analyse d’images de contraste par speckle laser (LSCI), l’objectif de cette thèse est d’étudier l’influence de l’âge sur la micro circulation.Pour ce faire, des données de LSCI ont été acquises sur l’avant-bras de sujets sains jeunes et âgés. A partir de modèles mathématiques, nous avons déterminé la vitesse des érythrocytes de la micro circulation chez les deux groupes de sujets. Par ailleurs, nous avons également mené une étude de la complexité de séries temporelles d’ LSCI s’appuyant sur des mesures d’entropie multi échelle. Nos résultats montrent que : 1) le groupe de sujets plus âgés présente des valeurs de vitesse des globules rouges significativement plus élevées que celles des sujets jeunes à l’hyperémie réactive post-occlusive; 2) les fluctuations des séries temporelles de LSCI dans le groupe des sujets jeunes ont une complexité supérieure à celles du groupe de sujets âgés. Ces modifications observées sur la micro circulation pourraient être attribuées à des modifications du système vasculaire dans son ensemble. La compréhension de ces altérations pourrait conduire à de nouvelles perspectives en matière de prévention et de traitement des pathologies liées à l’âge.
Aging is a primary risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. It is associated with functional and structural alterations in the vascular system. Therefore, a deep study of the aging process and the development of imaging systems and associated processing become of the utmost importance. By processing laser speckle contrast images (LSCI), this PhD work aims at studying the influence of age on microcirculation. In our work, LSCI data were acquired from the skin forearm of healthy subjects, subdivided into two age groups (younger and older). From mathematical models, we determined red blood cells velocity in microcirculation in the two groups of subjects. Moreover, we applied multiscale entropy-based algorithms to LSCI time series in order to study the complexity of microvascular signals. Our main findings are: 1) the older group has significantly higher velocity values than the younger group at post-occlusive reactive hyperaemia; 2) LSCI fluctuations in the younger group have significantly higher complexity than those of the older group. Age-related changes in skin microcirculation can be attributed to alterations in the vascular system as a whole. Understanding these changes in the microcirculatory system may give new insights for prevention and treatment of age-related diseases

▼ Remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC), induced by intermittent periods of sublethal ischemia and reperfusion, may be a practical, non-invasive intervention to confer protection from ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury. Early animal studies reliably demonstrate that prior RIPC attenuates infarct size about 23% compared to IR injury group without RIPC. Since infarct size attenuation from 20% to 12% is associated with lowered mortality, RIPC may provide clinical benefits to patients with high cardiovascular disease (CVD) risks. However, recent large clinical studies in humans found inconsistent results with respect to RIPC eliciting cardioprotection or improving clinical outcomes. These disparate results may be explained by the use of propofol as the anesthetic, coexisting conditions (e.g., diabetes, obesity, and hypertension), and other factors (e.g., medications, age, and RIPC protocol). Thus, an experimental model that is able to control for these factors is needed in order to elucidate the underlying protective mechanisms of RIPC as it applies to humans.
In vivo experimental models capable of examining mechanisms of myocardial function in humans are limited. As an alternative, the cutaneous circulation is an accessible microvascular bed to non-invasively test human microvascular function in vivo. Skin microvascular function is a good indicator of global microvascular function because functional changes that evolve here parallel other circulations including the coronary microvasculature. A series of studies in the Department of Kinesiology Hemodynamics Laboratory have tested the effects of RIPC on skin microvascular function. We found that maximum vasodilatory capacity increased after seven consecutive days of RIPC; however, we did not observe an improvement in NO-mediated vasodilation. In a follow-up study, we found that one and two weeks of RIPC improved endothelial dependent vasodilation. However, the amount of skin microvascular improvement was not different between these seven consecutive days and two weeks of RIPC. Whether shorter periods of RIPC (i.e., less than 7 days) elicits similar functional improvements is unknown. The effects of a single bout of RIPC are thought to exhibit a two-phase response, an initial (lasting ~4 hours) and a delayed window of protection (lasting 3-4 days). Therefore, different frequencies of RIPC training may stimulate protective pathways differently. Thus, there may be an optimal frequency and duration of RIPC that induces prolonged improvements in microvascular responsivity without long intervention periods.
It is important from a clinical standpoint to know the threshold dose needed to elicit beneficial effects of an intervention. This type of information will be useful in optimizing an RIPC-based intervention protocol aimed at improving microvascular function. Thus, the purpose of this study is to assess the extent to which shorter intervention periods (3 days of RIPC separated by rest days; 3QOD RIPC) elicit sustained skin microvascular functional alterations. Our hypothesis…

▼ Laser Speckle Contrast Imaging (LSCI) is a real-time, non-invasive method in used to investigate blood flow and perfusion in biological tissues with high temporal and spatial resolution. A reduction in
speckle contrast due to particle motion is the primary
contrast mechanism in LSCI. Motion results in
speckle fluctuations in time and reduces the
contrast over a given camera integration period. There are a variety of parameters that effect
contrast besides motion. The optical properties of the scattering medium are one of the parameters effecting LSCI values. Changes in blood hematocrit levels manifest as changes in optical properties. In this work, we explore the effects of different hematocrit levels on LSCI
contrast values using fluid phantoms with varying optical properties.
Herein, the combined effects of scattering and absorption coefficients on LSCI values are investigated using fluid phantoms. These fluid phantoms were designed to mimic the scattering and absorbing properties of blood with varying levels of hematocrit. The flow phantoms in our experiments contained different concentrations of glass microspheres (brand name Luxil) and India ink mixed with DI water. The different number of scatterers and absorbers in the phantoms mimic the scattering and absorption behaviors of blood with different number of red blood cells. An LSCI setup combined with a simple flow system was used in our experiments in order to investigate the effects of combined scattering and absorption coefficient of 121 samples with different concentrations of Luxil and India ink microspheres. The fluid phantoms were run in 2mm glass tubing on top of a plastic block using a mini peristaltic pump. An LSCI setup imaged the flow using a CCD camera. A MATLAB GUI controlled the pump and camera to provide near real-time
contrast images of the flow. An 11x11 matrix of phantoms was created. Scattering coefficient was varied on the columns and absorption coefficient was varied on the rows such that the first element of the matrix is water and the last element contains the phantom with the maximum number of scatterers and absorbers. A hundred raw
speckle images were recorded for each phantom experiment using the described optical setup. The experiments were conducted 3 times for each element of the matrix. The 11x11 results matrix displayed the average
speckle image of all 300 raw
speckle images. Additionally, the matrix was filled by the
contrast images where
contrast was defined as standard deviation of intensity over mean intensity. In order to compare the results numerically, we calculated the ratio of the
contrast from the same size window of moving portion over the static portion of the phantoms. According to the results from LSCI experiments, an increase in scattering and absorption coefficients led to a reduction in
contrast values of LSCI images. By increasing the number of scatterers and absorbers (equivalent to changing hematocrit level), the optical properties (scattering and absorption coefficient) increased, which led to a…

▼ Laser speckle contrast imaging (LSCI) has the potential to be a powerful tool in medicine, but more research in the field is required so it can be used properly. To help in the progression of Michigan Tech's research in the field, a graphical user interface (GUI) was designed in Matlab to control the instrumentation of the experiments as well as process the raw
speckle images into
contrast images while they are being acquired. The design of the system was successful and is currently being used by Michigan Tech's Biomedical Engineering department. This thesis describes the development of the LSCI GUI as well as offering a full introduction into the history, theory and applications of LSCI.

▼ La microcirculation cutanée a été proposée comme modèle d’étude de la dysfonction microvasculaire globale dans les maladies cardiovasculaires. Par ailleurs, elle est spécifiquement atteinte dans la sclérodermie systémique (SSc), qui est une maladie dysimmunitaire rare, particulièrement invalidante, caractérisée par une fibrose cutanée et viscérale associée à une atteinte microvasculaire diffuse et la présence d’auto anticorps dirigés contre des antigènes cellulaires. L’exploration de la fonction microvasculaire cutanée suscite donc un réel intérêt, même s’il n’existe pas de technique standardisée pour l’étude de la fonction microvasculaire, en particulier endothéliale.La première partie de ce travail a porté sur l’étude physiologique de la microcirculation cutanée chez le volontaire sain, en utilisant les méthodes les plus récentes adaptées à l’étude fonctionnelle de la microcirculation (tests de réactivité vasculaire couplés à l’enregistrement du flux sanguin cutané par laser speckle contrast imaging). Dans une seconde partie, nous avons étudié la pathologie de la microcirculation cutanée dans la sclérodermie systémique, en utilisant les mêmes d’étude fonctionnelle de la microcirculation. La dernière partie de cette thèse a été consacrée à l’étude d’une nouvelle approche pharmacologique et thérapeutique dans la prise en charge des manifestations vasculaires cutanées périphériques identifiées chez les patients. Nous avons évalué l’effet vasodilatateur du tréprostinil, analogue de la prostacycline, sur le flux sanguin cutané de divers zones anatomiques, chez le volontaire sain, le patient atteint de SSc, le patient diabétique et lors d’un refroidissement local dans la SSc.
Cutaneous microcirculation has been proposed as a model to study the global microvascular dysfunction occurring in cardiovascular diseases. Furthermore, it is specifically impaired in systemic sclerosis (SSc), which is a rare and particularly invalidating auto-immune disease, characterized by a cutaneous and visceral fibrosis, associated with a diffuse microvascular impairment and auto-antibodies targeting some cellular antigens. The study of cutaneous microvascular function provides a real interest despite the lack of available standardized techniques, particularly to explore endothelial microvascular function.In the first part of this work, we aimed to study the physiology of cutaneous microcirculation in healthy volunteers, using the more recent methods in this field, adapted to functional study of microcirculation (vascular reactivity tests coupled with cutaneous blood flow recording by laser speckle contrast imaging). The second part of our work aimed to study the pathology of cutaneous microcirculation in SSc volunteers, by using the same functional exploration methods. The last part of this work has been dedicated to a new pharmacologic and therapeutic approach for the management of peripheral cutaneous vascular manifestations in patients, using innovating technics as cutaneous iontophoresis. We studied the vasodilator effect of…

▼ Current intraoperative monitoring techniques of cortical perfusion like
Laser
Doppler are restricted in either spatial or temporal resolution.
Laser Speckle
Imaging is an optical method, which is already used in different clinical and
research settings for non-invasive and direct assessment of cortical
perfusion. The purpose of this study was to establish positive and negative
prediction rates for specific perfusion thresholds of infarcted and non-
infarcted tissue in the human brain. In 22 patients undergoing decompressive
craniectomy for treatment of malignant hemispheric stroke
Laser Speckle
measurements were performed and merged with a magnet resonance
imaging
reconstruction of the cortical surface including the infarcted cortical
tissue.
Laser Speckle Imaging-specific relative cortical perfusion was
calculated within the infarcted and non-infarcted area defined trough MRI.
Laser Speckle Imaging-specific perfusion values (given in the arbitrary unit
flux) were normalized to the mean flux in the non-infarcted area. Cumulative
probability curves were computed and positive (at least 95% probability of
infarction) and negative (at least 95% probability of non-infarction)
prediction limits were determined.
Laser Speckle Imaging permitted immediate
real-time visualization and measurement of relative cortical perfusion in
excellent image quality and high spatial-temporal resolution in all patients.
Positive and negative prediction limits of infracted tissue were determined at
40% and 110% of baseline perfusion, respectively. Of the exposed cortical
surface area across all patients, 61.7±24% were determined as infracted (below
40% normalized flux) compared to 11.2±9% as non-infarcted (above 110%
normalized flux) and 27.2±16% as tissue with perfusion between the determined
perfusion thresholds of 40 and 110% normalized flux.
Laser Speckle Imaging is
a valuable tool to sensitively predict infarcted and non-infarcted tissue in
patients undergoing neurosurgical procedures due to malignant hemispheric
stroke.
Laser Speckle Imaging provides excellent spatial resolution and could
routinely be used for intraoperative evaluation of hyper- or hypoperfusion
during vascular procedures or while positioning multimodal probes for
perioperative monitoring.

▼ The thesis deals with LSCI (
Laser Speckle Contrast Imaging), an optical method utilizing
laser speckle contrast for the estimation of blood flow changes. LSCI is non-invasive and technically not demanding approach, capabilities of which have not yet been fully exploited. The literature review part contains detailed description of the operating principle,
imaging techniques, potential for medical applications with considering the limiting factors. The main aim of the thesis is to design and construct a complete LSCI system including appropriate phantoms able to simulate blood flow through the tissue.
Imaging algorithms for the obtained data evaluation were implemented in Matlab® development enviroment. Finally, the created system was tested using different acquisition parameters as well as varying the image processing schemes. The resulting qualitative flow images were subsequently discussed and confronted with the theoretical assumptions.

▼ Background & Aims: Primary liver cancer is the
second most common cause of death from cancer worldwide. In the
western world, the majority of liver malignancies consist of
colorectal metastases. Liver resection is the primary treatment for
cure in liver tumor disease. Hepatic injuries such as steatosis,
steatohepatitis, fibrosis and sinusoidal obstruction syndrome,
which could be a consequence of chronic liver disease and
preoperative chemotherapy treatment, has negative impact on liver
surgery. There is a need for an intraoperative tool for
identification and quantification of these forms of liver damage.
The general aim of this thesis was to evaluate methods for
intraoperative liver parenchyma characterization and investigate if
liver damage could be detected with these methods. In addition, the
influence of chemotherapy on liver regeneration and incisional
hernia incidence was investigated. Patients & methods: In study
I, intraoperative sidestream dark-field imaging microcirculation
measurements were performed on 40 patients before and after liver
resection. In study II, intraoperative laser speckle contrast
imaging measurements of liver microcirculation were performed on 10
patients. In study III, ex vivo diffuse reflectance spectroscopy
measurements on excised liver tissue from 18 patients were
performed. In study IV, intraoperative surface diffuse reflectance
spectroscopy measurements were performed on 40 liver tumor
patients. In study V, radiological liver volume measurements on 74
patients operated with a major liver resection were performed. In
study VI, 256 patients’ computed tomography scans were reviewed for
the presence of incisional hernia. Results & Conclusions: Liver
resection leads to an increase in red blood cell velocity in the
sinusoids. Patients with liver parenchymal damage have higher red
blood cell velocity, lesser functional sinusoidal density and
larger sinusoidal diameter. Laser speckle contrast imaging can
potentially be used to achieve non-contact intraoperative hepatic
microcirculation measurements but problems with movement artifacts
need to be resolved. Surface diffuse reflectance spectroscopy
measurements are descriptive for the entire liver and it is
possible to perform measurements across the liver capsule. Liver
surface diffuse reflectance spectroscopy measurements enable
intraoperative steatosis grade evaluation with explicit distinction
between mild-to-moderate and moderate-to-severe steatosis. Volume
regeneration after a major liver resection is negatively affected
by preoperative chemotherapy treatment in patients with colorectal
liver metastases. The time interval between the ending of
chemotherapy and operation is crucial for the power of this impact.
Incisional hernia location after an extended right subcostal
incision is almost exclusively in the midline. Risk factors for
incisional hernia are prolonged preoperative chemotherapy,
preoperative bevacizumab, and previous incisional
hernia.

▼ Laser Speckle Contrast Imaging (LSCI) is a non-scanning wide field-of-view optical
imaging technique specifically developed for cerebral blood flow (CBF) monitoring. In this project, a versatile
Laser speckle contrast imaging system has been designed and developed to monitor CBF changes and examine the physical properties of cerebral vasculature during functional brain activation experiments.
The hardware of the system consists of a high speed CMOS camera, a coherent light source, a trinocular microscope, and a PC that does camera controlling and data storage. The simplicity of the system’s hardware makes it suitable for biological experiments.
In controlled flow experiments using a custom made microfluidic channel, the linearity of the CBF estimates was evaluated under high speed
imaging settings. Under the camera exposure time setting in the range of tens of micro-seconds, results show a linear relationship between the CBF estimates and the flow rates within the microchannel. This validation permitted LSCI to be used in high frame rate
imaging and the method is only limited by the camera speed. In an in vivo experiment, the amount of oxygen intake via breathing by a rat was reduced to 12% to induce the dilation of the vessels. Results demonstrated a positive correlation between the system’s CBF estimates and the pulse wave velocity derived from aortic blood pressure.
To exemplify the instantaneous pulsatility flow study acquired at high sampling rate, a pulsatile cerebral blood flow analysis was conducted on two vessels, an arteriole and a venule. The pulsatile waveform results, captured under sampling rate close to 2000 Hz. The pulse of the arteriole rises 13ms faster than the pulse of the venule, and it takes 6ms longer for the pulse of the arteriole to fall below the lower fall-time boundary. By using the second order derivative (accelerated) CBF estimates, the vascular stiffness was evaluated. Results show the arteriole and the venule have increased-vascular-stiffness indices of 0.95 and 0.74. On the other side, the arteriole and the venule have decreased-vascular-stiffness indices of 0.125 and 0.35. Both vascular stiffness indices suggested that the wall of arteriole is more rigid than the venule.
The proposed LSCI system can monitor the mean flow over function activation experiment, and the interrogation of blood flow in terms of physiological oscillations. The proposed vascular stiffness metrics for estimating the stroke preliminary symptom, may eventually lead to insights of stroke and its causes.

▼ A disfunção endotelial (DE), no Diabetes Mellitus tipo 1 (DM1), aparece como um denominador comum na fisiopatologia das complicações micro e macrovasculares e representa um marcador precoce do risco cardiovascular (RCV). Nossos objetivos foram: determinar a sensibilidade e a especificidade da avaliação da microcirculação através da metodologia do
laser speckle contraste por imagem (LSCI) e dos níveis dos biomarcadores (sVCAM-1 e sICAM-1) com base no ponto de corte do índice de hiperemia reativa (RHI) oriundo da tonometria arterial periférica (PAT), que caracterize a DE no DM1 e identificar os parâmetros clínicos, demográficos e laboratoriais associados ao comprometimento da função endotelial, nestes pacientes. Pacientes com DM1 e com idade ≥ 12 anos foram submetidos a um questionário clínico-epidemiológico. Amostras sanguíneas e urinarias foram coletadas para o perfil lipídico, controle glicêmico, níveis de proteína C-reativa e albuminúria. A reatividade vascular foi avaliada no antebraço através da técnica de LSCI no estado basal, durante a hiperemia reativa pós oclusiva (HRPO) e durante a iontoforese de Acetilcolina (ACh) com correntes anódicas crescentes e a PAT foi realizada fornecendo o RHI através do Endo-PAT. As dosagens de sICAM-1 e sVCAM-1 foram realizadas em ensaios multiplex (Tecnologia xMAP). Foram avaliados 189 pacientes, sendo 97 mulheres (51,3 %), idade de 32 13 anos, duração de doença de 16 (6-21) anos e média HbA1c 9.2% (2.2). De acordo com a análise da curva Receiver Operating Characteristics (ROC), o único teste de reatividade microvascular capaz de identificar os pacientes com DE segundo o RHI ≤1,67 foi a AUC da ACh (p=0.002) naqueles pacientes com duração do DM1 inferior a 5 anos. O valor encontrado de 10369 PU apresentou sensibilidade e especificidade de 65% e 87,5%, respectivamente. Nenhum biomarcador foi capaz de detectar a DE segundo o RHI. Na amostra toda, nenhum teste da reatividade vascular foi capaz de detectar o ponto de corte ideal. As principais variáveis correlacionadas com o RHI foram: idade, idade ao diagnóstico, duração do DM1, dose de insulina kg/dia, PAS e glicemia capilar no dia da PAT, A1c, Taxa de Filtraçao Glomerular (TFG) e níveis de PCR. Os níveis de sVCAM-1 foram correlacionados com os níveis de sICAM-1, duração do DM e glicemia capilar e os níveis de sICAM-1 foram correlacionados com TGO e TGP. As principais variáveis correlacionadas com HRPO AUC foram: FC no dia do LSCI, ACh AUC. Nenhuma correlação houve com a ACh AUC. Na avaliação da microcirculação através da vasodilatação endotélio dependente, a ACh com a metodologia do LSCI, nesta amostra estudada, pôde distinguir os pacientes com DE de acordo com o Escore da PAT, apresentando sensibilidade e especificidade de 65 e 87,5%, respectivamente, somente naqueles pacientes com tempo de DM1 inferior a 5 anos com o ponto de corte de 10369 PU, que sugerimos ser o ideal para a população com DM1. Os parâmetros mais correlacionados com a DE foram: idade, idade ao diagnóstico, duração do DM1, dose de insulina…

▼ Cerebral blood flow (CBF) measures are central to the investigation of ischemic strokes, spreading depressions, functional and neuronal activation.
Laser Speckle Contrast Imaging (LSCI) is an optical
imaging technique that has been used to obtain CBF measures in vivo at high spatial and temporal resolutions, by quantifying the localized spatial blurring of backscattered coherent light induced by blood flow. Despite being widely used for biomedical applications, LSCI's critical limitations such as its tendency to underestimate large flow changes and its inability to accurately estimate CBF through a thinned skull have not been overcome. This dissertation presents a new Multi Exposure
Speckle Imaging (MESI) technique that combines a new instrument and mathematical model to overcome these limitations. Additionally, in a pilot clinical study, an adapted neurosurgical microscope was used to obtain intra-operative LSCI images of CBF in humans. The MESI instrument accurately estimates experimental constants by
imaging backscattered speckles over a wide range of the camera's exposure durations. The MESI mathematical model helps account for light that has scattered from both static and moving particles. In controlled flow experiments using tissue simulating phantoms, the MESI technique was found to estimate large changes in flow accurately and the estimates of flow changes were found to be unaffected by the presence of static particles in these phantoms. In an in vivo experiment in which the middle cerebral artery in mice was occluded to induce ~100% reduction in CBF, not only was the reduction in CBF accurately estimated by the MESI technique but these estimates of CBF changes were found to be unaffected by the presence of a thinned skull. The validity of statistical models used to derive the MESI mathematical model was confirmed using in vivo dynamic light scattering (DLS) measurements of CBF in mice. The MESI technique's potential to estimate absolute values of CBF in vivo was demonstrated by comparing CBF estimates obtained using the MESI technique to DLS measurements. The MESI technique's ability to measure CBF changes quantitatively through a thinned skull makes it particularly useful in chronic and long term studies leading to the development of better, more accurate stroke models.

▼ Lors de la diffusion d’une onde électromagnétique sur une surface de rugosité aléatoire ou dans un volume, un champ de speckle, dont les caractéristiques dépendent du diffuseur considéré, se forme. Les diffusions au sein de matériaux impactent l’état de polarisation d’une lumière incidente. Ainsi, la polarisation est un paramètre sensible pour la caractérisation et l’étude de matériaux. Une technique de polarimétrie résolue spatialement, permettant une mesure de précision en champs de speckle, est proposée. Cette technique est utilisée pour étudier l’impact de différents paramètres d’imagerie sur la mesure polarimétrique, notamment les phénomènes de dépolarisation des champs dus au mode d’observation. Un modèle de simulation de champs de speckle polarisés, validé par comparaison avec l'expérimentation pour différents régimes de diffusions, est développé. Par ailleurs, les propriétés dynamiques de l’échantillon peuvent être mesurées par une analyse de contraste du speckle qu’il diffuse. Un dispositif d’imagerie de micro-vascularisation par mesure de contraste de speckle dynamique polarisé est optimisé, puis appliqué à l’étude in-vivo de l’angiogenèse tumorale du mélanome murin, ainsi que l’évolution de la vascularisation après traitement des tumeurs par électrochimiothérapie. Le potentiel de la technique pour la détection et l'étude du mélanome murin, sans contact ni marqueur, est démontré, avec comme perspective la détection et l'étude du mélanome humain, dont l'efficacité reste à être caractérisée pour une utilisation en imagerie biomédicale.
When an electromagnetic wave is scattered by a rough surface or in a volume, a speckle field is observed, with characterlstlcs depending on the consldered scatterer. Multiple scattering in samples immpact the State of polarizatlon of an incident light. Thus, polarization Is a sensitive parameter for material characterization and study. A spatially resolved polarlmetry method, allowing accurate measurements in speckle fields is proposed. That method is used to study the Impact of various parameters on polarimétrie measurements, especially the depolarization phenomenon due to the observation setup. A polarlzed speskle simulation model is proposed, validated by comparison with expérimentation for various scattering régime. Besides, dynamlc properties of samples can be measured by an analysis of the scattered speckle contrast. A method allowing microvascularization imaging based on dynamic polarized light scattering imaging is optlmlzed, then applied to in-vivo study of the tumor angiogenesis occuring on murine melanoma, as well as the vascularization évolution after a treatment called electrochemotherapy. Potentlal of the method for non invasive détection and study of the murine melanoma is demonstrated, its efflciency on human melanoma for biomédical applications remaning to be characterized.

▼ This dissertation presents the development and use of a novel optical
imaging system capable of monitoring changes in blood flow, oxygenated hemoglobin, deoxygenated hemoglobin, and absolute pO₂ in the brain. There are several
imaging modalities capable of monitoring these parameters separately.
Laser speckle contrast imaging (LSCI) and multi-spectral reflectance
imaging (MSRI) have been used to monitor relative blood flow and hemoglobin changes respectively. Phosphorescence quenching, while not typically used for
imaging, is capable of noninvasive measurements of pO₂. Combining these three techniques has led to the development of an
imaging system that could ultimately lead to a better understanding of brain physiology. By combining techniques such as LSCI and MSRI, it becomes possible to estimate the cerebral metabolic rate of oxygen (CMRO₂), an important indicator of neuronal function. It is equally important to understand absolute pO₂ levels so that oxygen metabolism can be examined in context. Integrating phosphorescence quenching and a spatial light modulator into the
imaging system allowed absolute pO₂ to be simultaneously measured in distinct regions. This new combined system was used to investigate pathophysiological conditions such as cortical spreading depression (CSD) and ischemia. The observed hemodynamic changes associated with these events were largely dictated by baseline oxygen levels and varied significantly in different regions. This finding highlighted the importance of having a system capable of monitoring hemodynamic changes and absolute pO₂ simultaneously while maintaining enough spatial resolution to distinguish the changes in different regions. It was found that animals with low baseline pO₂ were unable to deliver enough oxygen to the brain during events like CSD because of the high metabolic demand. In order for this technique to become more prevalent among researchers, it is essential to make it cost effective and simple to use. This was accomplished by replacing the expensive excitation sources with cheaper light emitting diodes (LEDs) and redesigning the software interface so that it was easier to control the entire device. The final system shows the potential to become a key tool for researchers studying the role of absolute pO₂ and other hemodynamic parameters during pathophysiological conditions such as CSD and ischemia.

▼ Background and Objectives:Although abnormal blood flow is linked to clinical risk of illness in neonates, clinicians typically do not integrate flow measurements into routine monitoring in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). We and other research groups have previously demonstrated the ability of Laser Speckle Imaging (LSI) to measure changes in blood flow in both a laboratory and clinical settings. We postulate that LSI, in a clinic-friendly form factor, can provide important hemodynamic information in the NICU. Here, I describe initial efforts to develop a handheld LSI system and deploy it to University of California, Irvine Medical Center NICU.Study Design/Methods:I designed and fabricated a handheld LSI system based on design principles to insure successful implementation into a clinical setting. Using in-vitro tissue phantom systems, I assessed the system performance of handheld LSI versus a traditional mounted configuration. I collected multi-user data (n=7) to assess the variation in flow measurements attributed to user performance. I collected data from two in-vivo occlusion models to demonstrate that the handheld device can detect both qualitative and quantitative changes in blood flow. Finally, I acquired data from an on-going NICU based clinical study (n=30, to date) in which we collected LSI images of abdomen and the heel over a period of several months.Results:I demonstrate that the handheld nature of the device has little effect on the flow measurement sensitivity via a study that was focused on the characterization of tissue simulating phantoms. Flow phantoms were characterized using both bench top and handheld LSI instruments. I show that measurements of flow from these phantoms is not user dependent based on testing using a pool of 7 minimally trained users. I demonstrate that the handheld LSI system measures trends in flow that are similar to those reported previously using bench top LSI systems during in-vivo occlusion models. I observed up to an 83.9% increase in flow index measured in neonates at the abdomen after feeding, while only up to a 16.1% increase was observed in the heel. Lastly, I observed a statistically significant difference between the maximum range of flow index values measured at the abdomen in necrotizing enterocolitis neonates and a healthy population (P=.015).Conclusion:The handheld LSI system can measure changes in blood flow and is minimally sensitive to errors due to handheld motion. Flow changes found in the abdomen warrant further studies to investigate the feasibility of using the LSI to detect compromised intestinal blood flow in neonates. These results suggest that LSI may be capable of providing additional screening for neonates with suspected gut pathology.

▼ Quantitative characterization of blood flow is important to assess acute physiological health and hemodynamic effects of clinical interventions. A critical need exists for a robust device designed to assess blood flow in biomedical applications. Laser Speckle Imaging (LSI) is a wide-field non-invasive optical technique that enables superficial blood flow quantification. A few potential clinical applications of LSI include assessing blood flow during burn patient triaging, quantifying tissue perfusion in a neonatal intensive care unit, and real-time blood flow mapping during surgery. The blood flow information that LSI provides can be helpful for bedside care. However, since LSI systems are highly sensitive to motion, most LSI studies are typically performed using mounted systems. Widespread use of LSI in the clinic has not occurred, in part, due to the bulky form factor and lack of mobility of these systems. Our proposed solution to address the limitations of these mounted systems is a handheld LSI device. Handheld LSI would provide clinicians with objective blood flow measurements in a convenient form factor. However, motion artifact during handheld data acquisition can lead to unreliable and inaccurate blood flow values. Attempts have been made to account for motion artifact noise, but they lack an approach to align (co-register) images. Co-registration is a necessary step prior to the common practice of image averaging to improve the signal-to-noise ratio in producing blood flow maps. Our approach to address both motion artifact and image co-registration for handheld LSI was adding a fiducial marker (FM) into our imaging protocol.We developed a portable, handheld LSI device and a protocol that integrated a FM into the imaging workflow. We automated the processes of sorting frames based on motion artifact and co-registering misaligned images. We compared the performance of the mounted and handheld setups using in vitro flow phantom experiments as a proof-of-concept study. We then demonstrated translation of our imaging protocol into an ongoing in vivo study with a porcine burn wound model.We attempted to further reduce motion artifact by making additional modifications to the handheld LSI device. The modified LSI device was also validated with in vitro flow phantom experiments and in vivo imaging of vessels within a dorsal skinfold window chamber model.In addition to the concerns of motion artifacts for clinical imaging, optical property changes in dynamic wounds or developing tissues may cause inaccuracies in the measured blood flow. We addressed this issue by combining LSI and Spatial Frequency Domain Imaging (SFDI), a non-contact imaging modality used to quantify tissue optical properties, to obtain corrected blood flow values. We then showed the potential errors in blood flow values when optical properties are not properly accounted for in the dynamic wounds of a porcine burn wound model.Collectively, these works demonstrate our attempts at providing a viable alternative for clinical blood flow imaging with…

▼ This thesis presents data from a series of experiments
that investigate the ability of
laser speckle contrast imaging
(LSCI) to sense changes in flow in turbid media. I first provide a
theoretical overview and a description of the experimental approach
used in this flow
imaging technique. Experimental validation of the
technique’s ability to sense induced changes in blood flow in the
human forearm is demonstrated. Then, the technique’s sensitivity to
buried flow in controlled optical phantoms is examined. It is shown
that the buried depth and optical properties of the media
surrounding flow impact the measured flow indices. Lastly, a study
shows how the polarization state of the imaged light impacts the
flow measurements as a function of the buried depth and rate of the
flow. The results demonstrate that the measurements are dependent
on the flow rates and optical properties of the sample as well as
the
imaging setup used to capture the
speckle.

▼ Roughly 400,000 children each year are born with port wine stain (PWS) birthmarks, which are skin capillary malformations characterized by a pink-reddish color that develop into purple nodules if left untreated. While PWS birthmarks can be found anywhere on the body and are typically non-life threatening, a large majority (~90%) present on the head and neck regions and can lead to complications including dental abnormalities and may be associated with capillary malformations in other organs such as the eyes (glaucoma), and brain (seizures). Due to the unsightly nature of PWS, people that have them on exposed areas of skin (face, neck, arm or leg regions) can endure immense psychological and social suffering. The current gold standard treatment for PWS in the US is laser irradiation using the pulsed dye laser (PDL). Treatment of PWS with the PDL has limited efficacy; many patients undergo 15 or more laser treatments without seeing full clearance of the PWS, demonstrating the need to investigate alternative therapies. In my dissertation research, I investigated alternatives to PDL treatment for PWS, including photodynamic therapy (PDT), combined PDT/PDL protocols, and alternative light based treatments. PDT has demonstrated promise towards achieving better treatment outcomes for PWS birthmarks, however, careful selection of treatment parameters is needed to avoid unwanted side effects. I performed preclinical studies of PDT using two photosensitizers, NPe6 and Hemoporfin, to better develop safe treatment parameters. I then investigated a combined PDT/PDL protocol and determined that a synergistic effect exists between the PDT and PDL protocols, illustrating that this combined approach leads to a desired treatment outcome while minimizing side effects. To better understand the PDT treatment mechanisms in skin, I also studied the depth of injury caused by NPe6-mediated PDT in preclinical models and found a direct relationship between depth of vascular injury and light dose administered. Finally, in investigating alternatives to the PDL, I studied the use of intense pulsed light (IPL) and performed a direct comparison study to the PDL. I used computational models to characterize the predicted performance of the IPL and performed experimental studies in preclinical models.

▼ Nous proposons dans cette thèse d’étudier une méthode d’imagerie qui s’adapte à la scène étudiée en utilisant des états polarimétriques choisis sur critères physiques pour optimiser le contraste polarimétrique en 2 zones aux propriétés polarimétriques différentes. En prenant en compte le bruit de Grenaille du détecteur, cette nouvelle technique d’imagerie à 2 canaux nommée APSCI montre un gain en contraste quantifié par la distance de Bhattacharyya pouvant atteindre un facteur 10 par rapport à l’imagerie de Mueller. D’autre part, elle utilise la totalité de l’information polarimétrique de la scène pour générer une seule image au contraste optimum ce qui la rend particulièrement performante pour distinguer deux zones aux propriétés polarimétriques légèrement différentes. La solution analytique complète de ce problème est proposée au chapitre suivant avec des illustrations associées. Le modèle proposé permet, en plus d’une interprétation physique, de quantifier les performances limites de la méthode APSCI en fonction des matrices de Mueller des 2 objets à discerner. Le chapitre suivant est consacré à l’étude des performances de cette méthode soumise au bruit optique de tavelure de cible. Les simulations numériques montrent que les performances de cette méthode en terme de contraste polarimétrique restent relativement robustes et souvent très supérieures à celles obtenues par l’imagerie de Mueller classique. Le dernier chapitre consiste à décrire l’implémentation expérimentale nécessaire à l’adaptation d’un imageur de Mueller en imageur APSCI en vue d’obtenir un imageur hybride Mueller/APSCI. La méthode APSCI nécessite de pouvoir utiliser en émission et en projection lors de la détection.
We propose in this thesis to study and imaging method which is adapted to the scene under investigation by the use of specific polarimetric excitations. The scenes under inversigation have two separate regions with different polarimetric properties. The specific fully polarized state of illumination is found by the physical criteria for oprimizing the polarimetric constrat in two aereas with different polarization properties. Taking into account the Shot noise of the detector, this new 2 channel imaging technique named APSCI, shows a gain in contrast quantified by the Bhattacharyya distance of up to a factor of 10 compared to what is achievable from classical Mueller imagnin. On the other hand, it uses the full polarimetric information of the scene to generate a single image at optimum contrast which makes it particularly effective to distinguish two distinct areas with slightly different polarization properties. The complete analytical solution of this problem is proposed in the next chapter with associated illustrations. The proposed model allows, in addition to a physical interpretation of the imaging problem, to quantify the limits of APSCI method based on evaluated Mueller matrices of the scene. Furthermore the relative performance of APSCI vs Classical Mueller Imaging (CMI) associated to polar decomposition has been studied…

▼ Clear ice formation on aircraft is a large economic and safety problem. The phenomenon, also known as ‘freezing rain’, usually occurs when subcooled rain droplets impact the aircraft while it descends from high altitude to prepare for landing. It can quickly increase the aerodynamic drag by up to 80% and reduce the lift force by 50%. Inefficient heating methods or toxic or corrosive chemicals are used to keep flying safe. In this thesis, infrared
imaging (IRI) and
laser speckle imaging (LSI) are used to observe freezing of water on surfaces with different material properties. A freezing front can be seen to travel through a molecular liquid layer of water (MLL) that covers all surfaces. If this freezing front has passed, impacting droplets freeze much sooner and at unusually high temperatures, which could explain the formation of clear ice on aircraft surfaces. In the past decade, the interest in anti-icing research has spiked. However, no systematic study has been performed to find out the origin of clear ice. Using the new insight of a freezing molecular liquid layer of water, this thesis is able to explain the origin of clear ice and runback icing. It also suggests that the ongoing conflict in literature on the anti-icing performance of superhydrophobic surfaces might be caused by the presence of the molecular layer of water. With a systematic study, the surface temperature, contact angle and relative humidity were found to be able to delay freezing of the water layer and the contact angle was able to decrease the velocity of the freezing front. Using this insight, coating architectures and scalable production methods were used to produce hydrophilic-hydrophobic patterns for passive anti-icing coatings.

▼ Coherent light - such as that from a
laser - on interaction with biological tissues, undergoes scattering. This scattered light undergoes interference and the resultant field has randomly added phases and amplitudes. This random interference pattern is known as speckles, and has been the
subject of multiple applications, including
imaging techniques. These
speckle fields inherently contain optical vortices, or phase singularities. These are locations where the intensity (or amplitude) of the interference pattern is zero, and the phase is undefined.
In the research presented in this dissertation, dynamic
speckle patterns were obtained through computer simulations as well as laboratory setups involving scattering from phantoms and animal tissues. Optical vortices were tracked within these patterns. Novel techniques were applied to relate scattering media dynamics with the temporal evolution of the
speckle fields and the optical vortex locations. Parameters, such as optical vortex trail lengths, mobility of optical vortices and charge separation between different types of vortices were introduced and calculated. Mathematical formulations, namely Poincaré descriptors, were employed to analyze the statistics of
speckle intensity and optical vortex dynamics.
A brief review of the advancements in the understanding and detection of optical vortices is presented. This is followed by the theory behind Poincaré analysis. It is concluded that Poincaré descriptors can be used to characterize the correlation in a data series.
Speckle patterns with different dynamic behaviors – such as Brownian and Lorentzian modes of decorrelation between consecutive frames, at varying rates - were studied. It was noted that measuring the optical vortex parameters in a dynamically evolving field, provided insights into the decorrelation characteristics of the scattering medium. As
speckle size is a statistical measure of the intensity variation in the field, the use of Poincaré descriptors to estimate
speckle size is demonstrated. Additionally, these descriptors differentiate between short- and long-range orders in data.
Laser speckle images obtained from flow in fluid phantoms and animal tissues indicated that Poincaré analysis provides an alternate method of quantifying flow.

▼ The focus of this dissertation is to study the keV
X-ray emission from different Z material to develop compact,
quasi-continuous tabletop Kα sources for the application of in-line
phase contrast imaging, X-ray diffraction experiments and X-ray
microscopy. The emission occurs from plasma produced by focusing
120 fs, 800 nm and 300 μJ Ti:Sapphire laser pulses up to an
intensity of few times 1016 W/cm2 on Cu, Fe and Ag metal targets.
The main interest of these experiments is to characterize the fast
electrons and X-ray emission from the laser plasma interaction. The
investigation of X-ray emission energy and spectral characteristics
is carried out by employing three detector systems which include
filtered pin-diode, Charge Coupled Device and CdTe pulse height
detectors. Scaling of photon flux as a function of incident laser
energy is measured and related to the dynamics and absorption
mechanisms involved in laser matter interaction. Specifically the
construction and evaluation of Kα X-ray sources operated at 1 kHz
repetition rate is reported with a photon flux of ~ 7×109 photon/s,
3×109 photon/s and 1.4×107 photon/s around the Kα line for Cu, Fe
and Ag respectively. These Kα fluences correspond to energy
conversion efficiencies of around ηCu = 3×10-5, ηFe = 1.06×10-5 and
ηAg = 2×10-7. The Cu and Fe Kα X-ray sources are applied to thin
biological specimens and low atomic number (Z) materials to record
in-line phase contrast images. It is demonstrated that the laser
based Kα sources can serve as alternative sources for conventional
X-ray radiography of biological samples in clinical
applications.

▼ La microscopie à éclairements structurés(structured illumination microscopy, SIM) permet de dépasser la limite de résolution en microscopie optique due à la diffraction, en éclairant l’objet avec un ensemble de motifs périodiques parfaitement connus. Cependant, il s’avère difficile de contrôler exactement la forme des motifs éclairants. Qui plus est, de fortes distorsions de la grille de lumière peuvent être générées par l’échantillon lui-même dans le volume d’étude, ce qui peut provoquer de forts artefacts dans les images reconstruites. Récemment, des approches dites blind-SIM ont été proposées, où les images sont acquises à partir de motifs d’éclairement inconnus, non-périodiques, de type speckle,bien plus faciles à générer en pratique. Le pouvoir de super résolution de ces méthodes a été observé, sans forcément être bien compris théoriquement. Cette thèse présente deux nouvelles méthodes de reconstruction en microscopie à éclairements structurés inconnus (blind speckle-SIM) : une approche conjointe et une approche marginale. Dans l’approche conjointe, nous estimons conjointement l’objet et les motifs d’éclairement au moyen d’un modèle de type Basis Pursuit DeNoising (BPDN) avec une régularisation en norme lp,q où p=>1 et 0<q<=1. La norme lp,q est introduite afin de prendre en compte une hypothèse de parcimonie sur l’objet. Dans l’approche marginale, nous reconstruisons uniquement l’objet et les motifs d’éclairement sont traités comme des paramètres de nuisance. Notre contribution est double. Premièrement, une analyse théorique démontre que l’exploitation des statistiques d’ordre deux des données permet d’accéder à un facteur de super résolution de deux, lorsque le support de la densité spectrale du speckle correspond au support fréquentiel de la fonction de transfert du microscope. Ensuite, nous abordons le problème du calcul numérique de la solution. Afin de réduire à la fois le coût de calcul et les ressources en mémoire, nous proposons un estimateur marginal à base de patches. L’élément clé de cette méthode à patches est de négliger l’information de corrélation entre les pixels appartenant à différents patches. Des résultats de simulations et en application à des données réelles démontrent la capacité de super résolution de nos méthodes. De plus, celles-ci peuvent être appliquées aussi bien sur des problèmes de reconstruction 2D d’échantillons fins, mais également sur des problèmes d’imagerie 3D d’objets plus épais.
Conventional structured illumination microscopy (SIM) can surpass the resolution limit inoptical microscopy caused by the diffraction effect, through illuminating the object with a set of perfectly known harmonic patterns. However, controlling the illumination patterns is a difficult task. Even worse, strongdistortions of the light grid can be induced by the sample within the investigated volume, which may give rise to strong artifacts in SIM reconstructed images. Recently, blind-SIM strategies were proposed, whereimages are acquired through unknown, non-harmonic,speckle illumination patterns,…

▼ Laser speckle imaging, often referred to as
laser speckle contrast analysis (LASCA), has been sought after as a quasi-real-time, full-field, flow visualization method. It has been proven to be a valid and reliable qualitative method, but there has yet to be any definitive consensus on its ability to be used as a quantitative tool. The biggest impediment to the process of quantifying
speckle measurements is the introduction of additional non dynamic
speckle patterns from the surroundings. The dynamic
speckle pattern under investigation is often obscured by noise caused by background static
speckle patterns. One proposed solution to this problem is known as dynamic
laser speckle imaging (dLSI). dLSI attempts to isolate the dynamic
speckle signal from the previously mentioned background and provide a consistent dynamic measurement. This paper will investigate the use of this method over a range of experimental and simulated conditions. While it is believable that dLSI could be used quantitatively, there were inconsistencies that arose during analysis. Simulated data showed that if the mixed dynamic and static
speckle patterns were modeled as the sum of two independent
speckle patterns, increasing static contributions led to decreasing dynamic
contrast contributions, something not expected by theory. Experimentation also showed that there were scenarios where scattering from the dynamic media obscured scattering from the static medium, resulting in poor estimates of the velocities causing the dynamic scattering. In light of these observations, steps were proposed and outlined to further investigate into this method. With more research it should be possible to create a set of conditions where dLSI is known be accurate and quantitative.

▼ This thesis describes the use of a linear, charge-coupled, photodiode array, and microprocessor in the measurement of various laser speckle statistics. Contrast and probability densities for fully and partially developed speckle patterns are derived theoretically as a function of scattering angle and surface roughness. The experimental apparatus incorporating the photodiode array and microprocessor is described in detail, along with various experiments to check expected specifications. Using this apparatus, measurements are made of the probability density and contrast, as a function of scattering angle, for the speckle patterns produced by three different surfaces. From these results and the theoretical predictions the roughness parameters for these surfaces are determined. In-plane surface displacement is measured using a cross-correlation technique and is found to produce accurate results over a wide range of displacements (from lµm to 0.5mm). A short section on speckle size is also included to verify theoretical predictions made in an earlier chapter.

▼ It is well known now that there exists a coupling between functional brain activity and regional blood flow response in the somatosensory cortex and other cortical areas. Various modalities, including functional magnetic resonance imaging and optical imaging (intrinsic signals as well as fluorescence), have been developed in the past to map functional brain activity. The complexity and fundamental physical constraints of the instruments preclude functional imaging in awake, behaving small animals. This thesis presents the method of Laser Speckle Imaging (LSI) of brain with high spatial and temporal resolution, and potential for imaging awake and behaving animals. The method has the potential to map brain activation with high sensitivity and spatiotemporal resolution without using any exogenous contrast agents.
In LSI, scattered laser light with different paths produces a random interference pattern known as speckle, fluctuations of which contain information about the motion of particles in the underlying medium. A post-processing step is needed to extract information out of the speckle images, two of which we introduce in details.
Our first method is based on Laser speckle contrast analysis (LASCA), which has been demonstrated as a full-field method for imaging the cerebral blood flow (CBF). However, conventional LASCA is limited to extremely low dynamic range because of the ambient background field, dark current and anomalies in the circuits of CCD camera, which makes it difficult to analyze the spatiotemporal variabilities in CBF. In this study, we propose an enhanced laser speckle contrast analysis (eLASCA) method to improve the dynamic range of LASCA based on monotonic point transformation (MPT). In addition, eLASCA greatly improves the CBF visualization, which is very helpful in demonstrating the details of CBF change.
Our second method involves the second order features (SOFs) of the image; they are derived from the cooccurrence matrix that in turn was calculated over the same spatial and temporal window than for the contrast. The image quality metrics - equivalent number of looks, entropy and objective quality – showed superior performance of the SOFs comparing to the contrast analysis.

▼ Hemodynamic compromise is responsible for ischemic stroke in about 10% of all
cases and the endogenous capacity to compensate this chronic cerebral ischemia
through outgrowth of preexisting collaterals is naturally limited. Currently,
treatment strategies for surgical augmentation of collateral flow remain
hampered by a high perioperative stroke risk or hemodynamic inefficacy.
Against this background, the present study investigated the influence of age
on chronic cerebral ischemia and strategies for therapeutic stimulation of
cerebral collateral vessel growth in a C57BL/6 mouse and Sprague-Dawley rat
model of chronic cerebral hypoperfusion. For the first time, we were able to
demonstrate that high age is associated with a negative outgrowth of
preexisting cerebral collaterals and delayed cerebral hemodynamic rescue,
which may explain the increased hemodynamic stroke risk in the elderly.
Secondly, a pre-clinical model was used to successfully demonstrate that
endothelial progenitor cells may serve as a novel, non-surgical treatment for
stimulation of cerebral collateral growth and hemodynamic rescue. Thirdly, an
experimental mouse model was developed to investigate the potential of a
myoblast-mediated gene therapy in combination with an encephalomyosynangiosis
(EMS) as a novel, safe and effective treatment for chronic cerebral ischemia.
Here, the effective stimulation of extra- intracranial collateralization
demonstrated that myoblast-mediated VEGF growth factor supplementation at the
muscle / brain interface of the EMS could help to improve the limited clinical
results following indirect surgical EMS revascularization in patients with
hemodynamic compromise and insufficient collateralization. The clinical part
of the present study focused on the validation of intraoperative
Laser Speckle
Imaging (iLSI) as a non-invasive tool for continuous monitoring and
visualization of cerebral perfusion during neurosurgical procedures. On the
basis of patients with the clinical need for direct surgical bypass
revascularization and hemodynamically healthy control patients, the general
applicability, sensitivity and response dynamics of iLSI for routine
measurement and visualization of cortical perfusion were successfully
demonstrated. For further validation of the pseudo-quantitative perfusion
assessment through iLSI, iLSI-specific perfusion thresholds for reliable
prediction and exclusion of cortical infarction were identified, which helped
to establish iLSI as a simple, safe and reliable tool for cortical perfusion
monitoring in the human brain.
