In-vivo full-field measurement of microcirculatory blood flow velocity based on intelligent object identification.

ABSTRACT: Microcirculation plays a crucial role in delivering oxygen and nutrients to living tissues and in removing metabolic wastes from the human body. Monitoring the velocity of blood flow in microcirculation is essential for assessing various diseases, such as diabetes, cancer, and critical illnesses. Because of the complex morphological pattern of the capillaries, both In-vivo capillary identification and blood flow velocity measurement by conventional optical capillaroscopy are challenging. Thus, we focused on developing an In-vivo optical microscope for capillary imaging, and we propose an In-vivo full-field flow velocity measurement method based on intelligent object identification. The proposed method realizes full-field blood flow velocity measurements in microcircula
