Infrared thermal imaging permits to non-invasively obtain, throughout bioheat models using a series of thermal images, the cutaneous blood perfusion. Laser Doppler imaging measures blood flow in the very small blood vessels of the microvascular network. In this paper, we compare findings from the two methods on a set of healthy volunteers. Cutaneous blood perfusion values obtained from thermal imaging correlate to those obtained by means of Laser Doppler imaging with the advantage of a better time resolution. Combined imaging of the two modalities may provide a useful tool for monitoring diseases affecting cutaneous tissue and/or microcirculation.
