Fig. 6.

The symbols in (a) and (b) show the diffusive and convective blood flow indices, respectively, estimated using the CDE for vessel scattering coefficients corresponding to hematocrit values ranging from $-20\%$ to $+20\%$ of our 40% baseline for a vessel diameter of $80\mu \mathrm{m}$, with $300\text{-}\mu \mathrm{m}$ vessel spacing, and an RBC flow speed of $2\mathrm{mm}/\mathrm{s}$. The solid lines indicate the expected blood flow index values predicted by Eqs. (15) and (14), respectively.
