LDF, laser Doppler flowmetry; MRI, magnetic resonance imaging; LSI, laser speckle imaging; DSC, diffuse correlation spectroscopy.

Blood flow changes are relative to preligation baseline values unless otherwise stated. ↑ = increased, ↓ = decreased, ↔ = no change, N/A = not applicable (not measured).
