Whole blood clotting time assessment by method of laser-speckle correlation

Abstract

The paper presents the results of study of the coagulation process of the whole blood with anticoagulant using the method of laser speckle correlation. The clotting time dependence curves of the correlation coefficient have been presented and discussed. Analyzing the changing trend of these curves is possible to assess the clotting time, which prove the capability of using the method of laser speckle correlation for determining the diseases of blood coagulation.
