It was very humbling to see so many poster presentations featuring laser Doppler imaging and the hind-limb ischemia model at this years BSCR in Leeds.

The use of laser Doppler imaging to evaluate the hind-limb ischemia model was first established by Jeff Isner (Boston, US).

A fitting tribute to a leading researcher and cardiologist then who is sadly no longer with us.

He would have been very happy considering the uptake, flexibility and longevity of this highly respected angiogenesis research model, further reading can be found here.
