Prompt, Objective, and Accurate Measurement of Rat Abdominal Flap Blood Flow Using Laser Speckle Flowgraphy
Our preliminary results demonstrated that LSFG could objectively identify abnormal blood flow in skin flaps as early as 5 minutes into surgery and predict graft survival. LSFG may potentially enable quick and objective assessment of flap blood flow and reduce the risk of complications and flap loss.
