High resolution in vivo intra-arterial imaging with optical coherence tomography.
BACKGROUND Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a new method of catheter based micron scale imaging. OCT is analogous to ultrasound, measuring the intensity of backreflected infrared light rather than sound waves. OBJECTIVE To demonstrate the ability of OCT to perform high resolution imaging of arterial tissue in vivo. METHODS OCT imaging of the abdominal aorta of New Zealand white rabbits...
متن کاملHigh-resolution imaging of microvasculature in human skin in-vivo with optical coherence tomography
In this paper, the features of the intensity-based Doppler variance (IBDV) method were analyzed systemically with a flow phantom. The effects of beam scanning density, flow rate and the time interval between neighboring A-lines on the performance of this method were investigated. The IBDV method can be used to quantify the flow rate and its sensitivity can be improved by increasing the time int...
متن کاملHigh resolution in-vivo imaging of skin with full field optical coherence tomography
Full-field OCT (FFOCT) has the ability to provide en-face images with a very good axial sectioning as well as a very high transverse resolution (about 1 microns in all directions). Therefore it offers the possibility to visualize biological tissues with very high resolution both on the axial native view, and on vertical reconstructed sections. Here we investigated the potential dermatological a...
متن کاملIn vivo ultrahigh-resolution optical coherence tomography.
Ultrahigh-resolution optical coherence tomography (OCT) by use of state of the art broad-bandwidth femtosecond laser technology is demonstrated and applied to in vivo subcellular imaging. Imaging is performed with a Kerr-lens mode-locked Ti:sapphire laser with double-chirped mirrors that emits sub-two-cycle pulses with bandwidths of up to 350 nm, centered at 800 nm. Longitudinal resolutions of ...
متن کاملHigh-resolution imaging of gynecologic neoplasms using optical coherence tomography.
BACKGROUND A modality capable of imaging the female reproductive tract, at or near the cellular level, could lead to the detection of diseases at earlier stages than currently possible. Optical coherence tomography achieves high resolutions in the cellular range (4-20 microm) and could accomplish that level of detection. METHOD Optical coherence tomography imaging of gynecologic tissue was st...
