Protein-based molecular contrast optical coherence tomography with phytochrome as the contrast agent.
We report the use of phytochrome A (phyA), a plant protein that can reversibly switch between two states with different absorption maxima (at 660 and 730 nm), as a contrast agent for molecular contrast optical coherence tomography (MCOCT). Our MCOCT scheme builds up a difference image revealing the distribution of phyA within a target sample from pairs of consecutive OCT A-scans acquired at a p...
متن کاملSpectral triangulation molecular contrast optical coherence tomography with indocyanine green as the contrast agent.
We report a new molecular contrast optical coherence tomography (MCOCT) implementation that profiles the contrast agent distribution in a sample by measuring the agent's spectral differential absorption. The method, spectra triangulation MCOCT, can effectively suppress contributions from spectrally dependent scatterings from the sample without a priori knowledge of the scattering properties. We...
متن کاملMolecular contrast optical coherence tomography: A pump-probe scheme using indocyanine green as a contrast agent.
The use of indocyanine green (ICG), a U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved dye, in a pump-probe scheme for molecular contrast optical coherence tomography (MCOCT) is proposed and demonstrated for the first time. In the proposed pump-probe scheme, an optical coherence tomography (OCT) scan of the sample containing ICG is first acquired. High fluence illumination (approximately 190 kJ/cm2) ...
متن کاملMolecular contrast optical coherence tomography: a review.
This article reviews the current state of research on the use of molecular contrast agents in optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging techniques. After a brief discussion of the basic principle of OCT and the importance of incorporating molecular contrast agent usage into this imaging modality, we shall present an overview of the different molecular contrast OCT (MCOCT) methods that have bee...
متن کاملCell Motility as Contrast Agent in Retinal Explant Imaging With Full-Field Optical Coherence Tomography.
Purpose To use cell motility as a contrast agent in retinal explants. Methods Macaque and mouse retinal explants were imaged with high resolution full field optical coherence tomography (FFOCT) and dynamic FFOCT, coupled with fluorescence imaging. Results Static and dynamic FFOCT create complementary contrast from different structures within a cell. When imaging in vitro samples, static FFO...
