Today, “Laser specklometer” is successfully used in the State Establishment “Scientific and Practical Center of Neurology and Neurosurgery” of the Ministry of
Health of the Republic of Belarus for the development of a number of new scientific schools. A number of fundamental and applied studies in medicine (mainly the
studies of peripheral and central nervous system) have been carried out with the
help of “Laser specklometer.” I would like to express my gratitude to Ludmila Aleksandrovna Vasilevskaya for the specially presented for the monograph results of the
clinical studies of patients derived with the help of the given microhematomyograph,
for the list of the scientific works carried out with her participation and the titles of
the conferences. I would like to point out that as it can been seen from the list of
scientific publications (the main and additional ones, see pp. 501-502 ), the important summary result of the multi-aspect studies carried out in the State Establishment
“Scientific and Practical Center of Neurology and Neurosurgery” of the Ministry of
Health of the Republic of Belarus for us, authors of this monograph, is the fact that
our device “Laser specklometer” has successfully passed through long years (about
10 years) of clinical tests and today benefits to the practical medicine. The main
significance of the device is its ability to measure noninvasively practically simultaneously the muscles tone and surface blood flow at any area of human body by the
means of switching the device to different frequency ranges. As a great scientist in
the sphere of development and using of speckle-optical methods and devices in the
studies of the surface blood flow, Professor T. Asakura from the Research Institute
of Applied Electricity Hokkaido University (Japan) said, there are no analogs of this
device today. All this allows us, authors, to recommend this unique device of a new
generation “Laser specklometer” to the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Belarus
for a series manufacture and wide implementation both for operational remote diagnostics during the treatment of patients with different kinds of diseases, as well as for
contactless noninvasive control of fatigue states of muscles and changes in the conditions of skin microhemodynamics in the process of sportsmen training. Besides, it is
possible to carry out further detailed study of the mechanism and restoration means
and regulating the physical state of a sportsmen with the help of the given device
(microhematomyograph) without any medical interference.
It is also important to point out that the possibilities of the given device have
not yet been fully discovered. From the point of view of the search and defining of
the new informative parameters of dynamic speckle-fields formed during the diffuse
reflection of life tissue from the surface, the laser specklometer contains a great
potential of highly sensitive diagnostic criteria of the estimation of the degree of the
evidence of different kinds of diseases. In particular, the area of application of the
developed by us speckle-optical device is spread not only on the measurement of the
skin blood flow and muscle activity, but also on the studies of functional states of
other organs and tissues.
And as result, you have our work before you, the main result of which is the
development of the perspective school in science–biomedical optics. The prospects
of the given school are confirmed by the fact that a few publications of the 80s
