摘要:
Speckle contrast method and system that discriminates photons based on their path length in tissue, the method comprising the steps of:- directing light from a pulsed light into a sample by optical elements;- synchronizing the time between the pulse injection to sample and the detection unit;- collecting the photons that have travelled through the sample by optics, and conveying the photons of a single or a limited number of speckles from the sample to one or more detection elements;- time-tagging photons thanks to the synchronization of the detector element and/or the time-tagging electronics with the laser pulse emission;- estimating each photon time-of-flight by the difference between its time tag and the laser pulse emission;- categorizing the detected photons based on the value of the time-of-flight in a certain number of time gates;- measuring the speckle contrast
