چکیده

An optical Doppler tomography (ODT) system that permits imaging of fluid flow velocity in highly scattering media is described. ODT combines Doppler velocimetry with the high spatial resolution of low-coherence optical interferometry to measure fluid flow velocity at discrete spatial locations. Tomographic imaging of particle flow velocity within a circular conduit submerged 1 mm below the surface in a highly scattering phantom of Intralipid is demonstrated.

High-resolution optical Doppler tomography for in vitro and in vivo fluid flow dynamics.

BACKGROUND The objective of our research was to use a noninvasive tomographic imaging technique with high spatial resolution (2-15 microm) to characterize and monitor fluid flow and the microvasculature in highly scattering biological tissues at user-specified discrete locations. METHODS The technique of optical Doppler tomography (ODT) combines laser Doppler flowmetry (LDF) with optical cohe...

Doppler optical microangiography improves the quantification of local fluid flow and shear stress within 3-D porous constructs.

Traditional phase-resolved Doppler optical coherence tomography (DOCT) has been reported to have potential for characterizing local fluid flow within a microporous scaffold. In this work, we apply Doppler optical microangiography (DOMAG), a new imaging technique developed by combining optical microangiography (OMAG) with a phase-resolved method, for improved assessment of local fluid flow and i...

Transverse flow-velocity quantification using optical coherence tomography with correlation

We describe a method that uses classic optical coherence tomography to measure the transverse fluid-flow velocity quantitatively without knowing the Doppler angle. An intensity based cross-correlation calculation is taken point-to-pointly between two close cross sections of the scattering fluid to estimate the time delay for scattering particles passing through the two sections which are scanne...

Noninvasive imaging of in vivo blood flow velocity using optical Doppler tomography.

We report the development of an optical technique for noninvasive imaging of in vivo blood flow dynamics and tissue structures with high spatial resolution (2-10 microm) in biological systems. The technique is based on optical Doppler tomography (ODT), which combines Doppler velocimetry with optical coherence tomography to measure blood flow velocity at discrete spatial locations. The exception...

Self-referenced Doppler optical coherence tomography.

Doppler optical coherence tomography (DOCT) allows simultaneous micrometer-scale resolution cross-sectional imaging of tissue structure and blood flow. We demonstrate a fiber-optic polarization-diversity-based differential phase contrast DOCT system as a method to perform self-referenced velocimetry in highly scattering media. Using this strategy, we reduced common-mode interferometer noise to ...
