[IEEE 2019 41st Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine & Biology Society (EMBC) - Berlin, Germany (2019.7.23-2019.7.27)] 2019 41st Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (EMBC) - A prototype system of portable laser speckle imager based on embedded graphics processing unit platform

摘要： Laser speckle contrast imaging (LSCI) is a high-resolution full-field optical technique for measuring blood flow, which has been widely used in clinical and biomedical research. However, most of the current LSCI instruments are bulky, limiting their application settings. In this work, we proposed a prototype system of portable laser speckle imager. Different from the desktop laser speckle systems that utilize personal computer (PC), our system was designed with embedded GPU system (Jetson TX2, NVIDIA, USA) and a LCD touch screen (16.5 × 12.4 cm in size, 380 g in weight). In-vivo experiments showed that the portable GPU-based system had comparable performance with our laboratory LSCI system. Such a portable LSCI imager could be potentially used in a situation that requires for easy operation and installation, such as intraoperative monitoring or bedside diagnosis.
