Abstract
High-Density Speckle Contrast Optical Tomography (HD-SCOT) is an optical technique with the potential to address the limitations of current techniques for imaging Cerebral Blood Flow (CBF). To evaluate HD-SCOT’s performance, we developed an anatomical-head-based simulation to obtain HD-SCOT measurements and reconstructed images. We observed that including longer source-detector distances can reduce localization errors. Even though speckle contrast decreases with increased exposure times, the System-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) can increase dramatically. For instrumentation, we evaluated statistics of speckles through a multi-mode fiber (MMF) bundle and demonstrated the feasibility of tracking pulsatile blood flow in a human subject using MMFs.
