PixelFlux demonstrates rapid post-dialysis improvement of peripheral nerve perfusion ( BORIRE et al. Prince of Wales Clinical School, University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia)  :

“… we have shown that peripheral nerve hypervascularity is demonstrable in ESKD patients and rapidly improves following a single session of dialysis. Increased INBF is more likely to be seen in nerves of patients with evidence of axonal loss and moderate to severe neuropathy, suggesting that it may be a potential marker of neuropathy severity.

PixelFlux has significantly higher intra- and interobserver reliability than traditional methods to evaluate intraneural blood flow in carpal tunnel syndrome ( BORIRE et al. Prince of Wales Clinical School, University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia)

PixelFlux perfusion measurements in peripheral diabetic nerves correlate significantly with the severity of diabetic neuropathy ( BORIRE et al. Prince of Wales Clinical School, University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia)
