BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Instantaneous wave-free ratio (iFR) is a new invasive indicator of myocardial ischaemia, and its diagnostic performance is as good as the "gold standard" of myocardial ischaemia diagnosis: fractional flow reserve (FFR). iFR...
BACKGROUND: Impaired microcirculation is a cornerstone of sepsis development and leads to reduced tissue oxygenation, influenced by fluid and catecholamine administration during treatment. Hyperspectral imaging (HSI) is a non-invasive bedside technol...
SIGNIFICANCE: Imaging blood oxygen saturation ( ) in the skin can be of clinical value when studying ischemic tissue. Emerging multispectral snapshot cameras enable real-time imaging but are limited by slow analysis when using inverse Monte Carlo (M...
The underuse of invasive fractional flow reserve (FFR) in clinical practice has motivated research towards non-invasive prediction of FFR. Although the non-invasive derivation of FFR (FFR) using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) principles has becom...
Laser speckle contrast imaging (LSCI) is widely used for in vivo real-time detection and analysis of local blood flow microcirculation due to its non-invasive ability and excellent spatial and temporal resolution. However, vascular segmentation of LS...
SIGNIFICANCE: Laser speckle contrast imaging (LSCI) gives a relative measure of microcirculatory perfusion. However, due to the limited information in single-exposure LSCI, models are inaccurate for skin tissue due to complex effects from e.g. static...
Microvascular blood flow is crucial for tissue and organ function and is often severely affected by diseases. Therefore, investigating the microvasculature under different pathological circumstances is essential to understand the role of the microcir...
