Abstract
In some examples, a system includes processing circuitry configured to generate a laser speckle contrast signal based on a received signal indicative of detected light, wherein the detected light is scatted by tissue from a coherent light source. The processing circuitry may also determine, from the laser speckle contrast signal, a flow value and determine, from the laser speckle contrast signal, a waveform metric. Based on the flow value and the waveform metric, the processing circuitry may determine a blood flow metric for the tissue and output a representation of the blood flow metric.
