We have performed an in vitro and in vivo study, based on laser speckle contrast analysis, to detect fluid pulsation in the presence of artifacts caused by the relative motion between the sample and the illumination source. We observe that the pulsation signal is clearly detectable for a range of motion amplitudes and oscillation frequencies; however, for higher amplitudes and oscillation frequencies of motion, the signal, due to pulsation, becomes increasingly difficult to detect.
