Abstract
We present the first feasibility study of a new optical device for assisted venipuncture based on partially-coherent wide-field speckle decorrelation. Using a pseudo-thermal light source, we can vary the degree of spatial coherence, in order to change the ratio of singly- to multiply-scattered light detected by the system. This leads to an improvement in the localization of the decorrelation contrast, and therefore in the delineation of deep veins, as compared to conventional laser speckle imaging (LSI) systems. The results obtained so far make us believe that our spatial coherence-gated LSI imaging architecture can find widespread application beyond venipuncture.
