Review of methodological developments in laser Doppler flowmetry

VRVinayakrishnan RajanBVBabu VargheseTLTon G. van Leeuwen

Key Points

  • To review theoretical and experimental developments in laser Doppler flowmetry while critically assessing technical limitations and solutions for microcirculatory blood flow measurement.
  • Narrative review of theoretical foundations and experimental modifications in laser Doppler flowmetry.
  • Critical assessment of published literature addressing physical limitations and engineering advances in tissue perfusion measurement.
  • Laser Doppler flowmetry enables non-invasive, continuous measurement of microcirculatory blood flow in tissue.
  • Theoretical and experimental refinements have addressed key physical limitations to improve measurement accuracy and signal interpretation in microvascular monitoring.

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.
