Abstract
The fluctuation of contrast caused by statistical noise degenerates the temporal/spatial resolution of laser speckle contrast imaging (LSCI) and limits the maximum speed when imaging. In this study, we investigated the application of the anisotropic diffusion filter (ADF) to temporal LSCI and found that the edge magnitude parameter of the ADF can be determined by the mean of the contrast image. Because the edge magnitude parameter is usually denoted as K, we term this the K-constant ADF (KC-ADF) and show that temporal sensitivity is improved when imaging because of the enhanced signal-to-noise ratio when using the KC-ADF in small-animal experiments. The cardiac cycle of a rat as high as 390 bpm can be imaged with an industrial camera.
