Optical Doppler Tomography

چکیده
Optical Doppler tomography (ODT) is an imaging modality that takes advantage of the short coherence length of a broad-band light sources to perform micrometer-scale, crosssectional imaging of tissue structure and blood flow dynamics simultaneously. We review in this paper the principal of ODT and its applications. Results from in vitro and in vivo model studies demonstrated that ODT can map the blood flow velocity profile with high spatial resolution in scattering medium. ODT detection mechanisms are illustrated using Monte Carlo simulations. The application of ODT to image brain hemodynamics is demonstrated. Finally, we discuss the limitations of the current technology and application of a phase resolved technique to improve image speed and quality.

Frequency domain phase - resolved optical Doppler and Doppler variance tomography
Frequency domain phase-resolved optical Doppler tomography (ODT) was developed with Doppler variance imaging capability. It is shown that utilizing the frequency domain method, phase-resolved ODT can achieve much higher imaging speed and velocity dynamic range than the time domain method. Structural, Doppler and Doppler variance images of fluid flow through glass channels were quantified and bl...

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 ...
