ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
To investigate the accuracy of laser speckle flowgraphy (LSFG), a noninvasive method for the quantitative evaluation of blood flow using mean blur rate (MBR) as a blood flow parameter in the assessment of bowel blood perfusion compared to indocyanine green fluorescence angiography (ICG-FA).METHODS:
We enrolled 46 patients who underwent left-sided colorectal surgery. LSFG and ICG-FA were applied to assess blood bowel perfusion, with MBR and luminance as parameters, respectively. In both measurement methods, the position where the parameter suddenly decreased was defined as the blood flow boundary line. Subsequently, the blood flow boundaries created after processing the blood vessels flowing into the intestinal tract were determined using LSFG and ICG-FA, and concordance between the two was examined. Blood flow boundaries were visually identified using color tone changes on a color map created based on MBR in LSFG and using differences in luminance in ICG-FA. The distances between the transection line and blood flow boundaries determined using each method were compared.RESULTS:
The location of blood flow boundaries matched in 65% (30/46) of cases. Although locations differed in the remaining 35% (16/46), all were located on the anal side near the transection line, and the difference was not clinically significant. The average distances between the transection line and blood flow boundary were 2.76 (SD = 3.25) and 3.71 (SD = 4.26) mm, respectively. There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups (p = 0.38).CONCLUSION:
LSFG was shown to have comparable accuracy to ICG-FA, and may be useful for evaluating bowel perfusion.Palavras-chave
