| contents | Significance: Measuring cerebral blood flow (CBF) is crucial for diagnosing various cerebral diseases. An affordable, wearable, and fiber-free continuous-wave speckle contrast flowmetry (CW-DSCF) technique has been developed for continuous monitoring of CBF variations. However, its application in adult humans is limited by shallow tissue penetration. Aim: To develop an innovative pulse-mode DSCF (PM-DSCF) system for continuous monitoring of CBF variations in adult humans. Approach: The PM-DSCF utilizes an 808 nm laser diode and a small NanEye camera to capture diffuse laser speckle fluctuations caused by red blood cell movement in the brain (i.e., CBF). Operating in short-pulse mode (duty cycle < 5%), the system maximizes peak pulse light power for deeper tissue penetration, while ensuring that the average power density remains within ANSI safety standards for skin exposure. The PM-DSCF was evaluated on tissue-simulating phantoms and in adult humans. Results: The maximum effective source-detector distance increased from 15 mm (CW-DSCF) to 35 mm (PM-DSCF). The PM-DSCF successfully detected CBF variations in adult brains during head-up-tilting experiments, consistent with physiological expectations. Conclusions: Switching from CW mode to PM mode significantly increases the maximum tissue penetration depth from ~7.5 mm (CW-DSCF) to ~17.5 mm (PM-DSCF), enabling successful CBF measurements in adult humans. |
