As a two-dimensional, high-resolution, minimal-invasive monitoring method, laser speckle contrast imaging (LSCI) is widely used to measure the relative speed of cerebral blood flow (CBF) under different physiological and pathological states, i.e. before and after acupuncture. During the last decade,...
