- Abstract
- When a coherent beam illuminates spatially disordered particles, speckle patterns are formed due to interference of the scattered light waves. Speckle patterns from biological tissues using synchrotron phase contrast Xray imaging can provide functional information about micro-scale morphological structures of the tissues. In this study, we investigated the size and contrast variations of the speckles of aggregated red blood cells (RBCs) suspensions with varying the degree of RBC aggregation. Results show that the degree of RBC aggregation is a governing parameter on the change of speckle characteristics. This blood speckle analysis method can be used as a novel modality for monitoring RBC aggregation. (C) 2010 Optical Society of America
