  4. Effect of light scattering superficial layer on the accuracy of flow velocity profiles measurements by Doppler optical coherence tomography

    Explore Article SPIE Digital Library (May 18 2010)

    Effect of light scattering superficial layer on the accuracy of flow velocity profiles measurements by Doppler optical coherence tomography Doppler Optical Coherence Tomography (DOCT) is a modern technique used for accurate measurements of blood flow in the superficial layers of human skin, retina or other tissues and their phantoms. In this work, we considered the effect of both static and dynamic superficial layer of the scattering medium on the measured velocity of a flow located beneath this layer. In the case of static layer a tissue phantom consisting of ... (Read Full Article)

    Multiple and dependent scattering effects in Doppler optical coherence tomography Doppler optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a technique to image tissue morphology and to measure flow in turbid media. In its most basic form, it is based on single (Mie) scattering. However, for highly scattering and dense media multiple and concentration dependent scattering can occur. For Intralipid solutions with varying scattering strength, the effect of multiple and dependent scattering on the OCT signal attenuation and Doppler flow is investigated. We ... (Read Full Article)

    The Doppler optical coherence tomography technique was applied to image the oscillatory dynamics of protoplasm in the strands of the plasmodium of slime mould Physarum polycephalum. Radial contractions of the gel-like walls of the strands and the velocity distributions in the sol-like endoplasm streaming along the plasmodial strands are imaged. The motility inhibitor effect of carbon dioxide on the cytoplasm shuttle flow and strand-wall contraction is shown. The optical attenuation ... (Read Full Article)

    Automated segmentation of the macula by optical coherence tomography This paper presents optical coherence tomography (OCT) signal intensity variation based segmentation algorithms for retinal layer identification. Its main ambition is to reduce the calculation time required by layer identification algorithms. Two algorithms, one for the identification of the internal limiting membrane (ILM) and the other for retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) identification are implemented to evaluate structural features of the retina. Using a 830 nm spectral domain OCT device, this ... (Read Full Article)
