Data on microcirculatory perfusion dips in the resting nail bed

• This article contains the raw data from the article entitled: "The presence of synchronized perfusion dips in the microcirculation of the resting nail bed" Mirdell et al. (in press). A laser speckle contrast imager (LSCI) was used to make a total of 21 recordings of the perfusion in the resting nail bed of 10 healthy test subjects. The first 10 recordings were acquired after 5?min of acclimatization. An additional 10 recordings were acquired in the same test subjects, after 20?min of acclimatization. In the last recording, a digital nerve block was applied to the left dig III. The data show the presence of highly irregular perfusion variations, a phenomenon we like to call perfusion dips. The data also show how the perfusion dips can be abolished through a digital nerve block. An algorithm for the quantification of the perfusion dips is included in the data.
