Figure 2

Measurement of blood flow using a laser speckle contrast imaging. (A) Representative images of blood flow in the right hind limb 5 min after one cycle of ischemia (middle image) and 5 min after reperfusion (right image) using laser speckle. (B) Representative recordings of blood flow: baseline, 5 min after one cycle of ischemia, and 5 min after reperfusion in the right hind limb. (C) Representative images of blood flow in the cervical esophagus immediately after closing the neck incision, 5 min after one cycle of ischemia (middle image), and 5 min after reperfusion (right image) using laser speckle. (D) Representative recordings of blood flow: baseline, 5 min after one cycle of ischemia, and 5 min after reperfusion in the cervical esophagus. (E) Quantification of the relative ROI (n = 10). (ns = not significant, *p < 0.05, **p < 0.001, ***p < 0.0001).
