Extended volume retinal vascular imaging with phase variance contrast optical coherence tomography
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present recent developments from a phase variance based motion contrast method of retinal vascular OCT imaging, called phase variance contrast optical coherence tomography (PV-OCT). Using a 25 kHz spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SDOCT) system, the vascular visualization capabilities of this contrast method are demonstrated with composite images created from multiple data sets. Wide field vascular images extending over the fovea and optic nerve head are presented as well as microvascular retinal images over the fovea to demonstrate the trade-offs between imaging speed and vascular visualization.

We present in vivo volumetric images of human retinal micro-circulation using Fourier-domain optical coherence tomography (Fd-OCT) with the phase-variance based motion contrast method. Currently fundus fluorescein angiography (FA) is the standard technique in clinical settings for visualizing blood circulation of the retina. High contrast imaging of retinal vasculature is achieved by injection ...

We present high-speed Fourier-domain optical coherence tomography (Fd-OCT) with the phase variance based motion contrast method for visualizing retinal micro-circulation in vivo. This technique allows non-invasive visualization of a two-dimensional retinal perfusion map and concurrent volumetric morphology of retinal microvasculature with high sensitivity. The high-speed acquisition rate at 125...

Optical coherence tomography (OCT)-based angiography is increasingly becoming a clinically useful and important imaging technique due to its ability to provide volumetric microvascular networks innervating tissue beds in vivo without a need for exogenous contrast agent. Numerous OCT angiography algorithms have recently been proposed for the purpose of contrasting microvascular networks. A gener...

We present a noninvasive phase-variance (pv)–based motion contrast method for depth-resolved imaging of the human chorioretinal complex microcirculation with a newly developed phase-stabilized high speed (100-kHz A-scans/s) 1-μm swept- ource optical coherence tomography (SSOCT) system. Compared to our previous spectral-domain (spectrometer based) pv-spectral domain OCT (SDOCT) system, this syst...
