title = "Handheld wireless laser speckle contrast imaging (LSCI) during DIEP flap breast reconstruction: a pilot study",
abstract = "Perfusion of the flap is essential in Deep Inferior Epigastric Perforator (DIEP) flap breast reconstruction surgery for flap survival, yet perioperative assessment of flap perfusion to detect perfusion-related problems is challenging. Laser Speckle Contrast Imaging (LSCI) is an optical technique for quantitative microcirculation assessment. Mounted LSCI devices are bulky and impractical to use during surgery, or in other clinical settings where investigation of microcirculation is needed. Therefore, a handheld wireless perfusion imager (WIPI) was developed including a 660 nm laser and an RGB camera for image registration. With this device, flap perfusion during surgery (at baseline, after fully raising the flap, and during ischemia) was compared for different Hartrampf zones. The results indicate that poorly perfused DIEP flap zones may be detected in an early stage using a handheld LSCI device.",
