Multimodal optical imaging can reveal changes in microcirculation and tissue oxygenation during skin wound healing

Faster and better wound healing is a longstanding goal. Blood flow, angiogenesis, and tissue oxygenation are important parameters in evaluating the healing process. Optical microangiography (OMAG) allows 3D imaging of tissue vasculature and can provide quantitative blood flow information down to the capillary level of resolution. Dual wavelength laser speckle imaging (DW‐LSI) can measure tissue oxygenation status.
