<title>Laser measurements for biomedical applications</title>

Abstract

Laser Doppler and laser speckle techniques for the measurements of blood and lymph flow velocity in different geometry has been overviewed and compared. The application of laser Doppler techniques for the diagnostics of blood microcirculation disorders in ophthalmology, otorhinolaryngology and dentistry are described. Also the application of laser speckle-correlation technique for the biomedical studies of lymphatic microcirculation is presented. Blood flow measurements of both single vessel and tissue volume is discussed.
