Reliability of vulvar blood perfusion in women with provoked vestibulodynia using laser Doppler perfusion imaging and laser speckle imaging

Findings show that both LDPI and LSCI measurements are reliable for assessing blood perfusion of the vulvar vestibule in women with PVD. The LSCI appears to be a more reliable measurement as it presents less variation than LDPI. Finally, although LDPI and LSCI measurements are related, the systematic difference observed between them makes it impossible to compare absolute units.
