Review of methodological developments in laser Doppler flowmetry

Abstract: Laser Doppler flowmetry is a non-invasive method of measuring microcirculatory blood flow in tissue. In this review the technique is discussed in detail. The theoretical and experimental developments to improve the technique are reviewed. The limitations of the method are elaborated upon, and the research done so far to overcome these limitations is critically assessed.

“…It provides accessible vascular networks and the acquisition of several biological signals by noninvasive techniques [2][3][4] . Laser Doppler flowmetry (LDF) is the most wellknown technique used with that purpose, although the classical photoplethysmography is recently being revisited [7,8] . Both are optical techniques, allowing sensible, real-time recording of blood flow.…”

“…Proporciona redes vasculares acessíveis e a fácil aquisição de vários sinais biológicos através de técnicas não invasivas [2][3][4] . A fluxometria por laser Doppler (FLD) é a técnica mais bem conhecida usada com este propósito, apesar da fotopletismografia clás-sica ter vindo a ser recentemente revisitada [7,8] . Ambas são técnicas óticas, permitindo o registo detalhado do fluxo sanguíneo em tempo real.…”

“…Laser Doppler Flowmetry (LDF) and Transcutaneous (tc) gasimetry are widely used noninvasive technologies that allow sensible, continuous and real-time quantification of circulation related variables [3][4][5][6] . These technologies, often coupled to "provocation" tests, are designed to change the resting perfusion conditions and stimulate vascular reactivity, therefore providing dynamic information regarding the mechanisms involved in that response [5,6] .…”

“…A Fluxometria por Laser Doppler (FLD) e gasimetria transcutânea (tc) são tecnologias não-invasivas amplamente utilizadas que permitem a quantificação sensível, contínua e em tempo real de variáveis relacionadas com a circulação [3][4][5][6] . Estas tecnologias são muitas vezes associadas a testes de "provocação", destinados a alterar as condições de perfusão em repouso e estimular a reatividade vascular, fornecendo informação dinâmica a respeito dos mecanismos envolvidos nessa resposta [5,6] .…”

“…These vessels feed and drain the capillary network and aim at maintaining an adequate body temperature. In order to monitor microvascular blood flow, the laser Doppler flowmetry (LDF) technique has been proposed in the 1970s (for a review see for example Öberg, 1990;Humeau et al, 2007;Rajan et al, 2009;Cal et al, 2010). LDF allows a non-invasive and real time monitoring of the blood perfusion with a minimal influence in the parameters under study.…”
