Laser-Doppler flowmetry--a non-invasive and continuous method for blood flow evaluation in microvascular studies

P A Oberg et al. Acta Med Scand Suppl. 1984.

Abstract

Skin viability has during the last decades been studied by a number of different techniques. Some of these are briefly presented in this paper. One method, based on the laser-Doppler principle, makes possible continuous and noninvasive measurement of blood flow in the outermost layer (1 mm) of the skin. The basic physical principles and the properties of this flowmeter are presented. Some clinical and research applications of laser-Doppler flowmetry in a number of medical disciplines are discussed.
