It is known that the speckle pattern observed under a special condition such as a living body illuminated by a laser light has fractality. This has been utilized for such as tomographic imaging of the porcine arterial tissue. We have investigated so far the correlation between the fractal dimension and velocity of blood flow in a rat. In the present study, we investigate fractality of biospeckle pattern observed in blood coagulation process by experiments.
