LSFG-SKIN, Laser Speckle Flowgraphy

May 9, 2023 updated by: Randy Kardon
The purpose of this project is to quantify normal and abnormal skin blood flow regionally in different areas of the body(face, extremities, over burns and wounds) at baseline and over time in response to treatment or environmental changes, such as temperature, light and pressure.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Laser speckle skin blood flow (LSFG-SKIN) will be recorded in normal subjects and in patients with disorders affecting skin capillary perfusion, which may include cardiovascular disorders, dermatologic disorders, skin wounds, ocular disorders, psychiatric disorders, and neurologic disorders.
