      Imaging localized fast optical signals of neural activation with optical coherence tomography in awake mice
      We report optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging of localized fast optical signals (FOSs) arising from whisker stimulation in awake mice. The activated voxels were identified by fitting the OCT intensity signal time course with a response function over a time scale of a few hundred milliseconds after the whisker stimulation. The significantly activated voxels were shown to be localized to the expected brain region for whisker stimulation. The ability to ...

      Measuring myelin content and cell density in the human brain using optical coherence tomography
      Serial Sectioning Optical Coherence Tomography(serial sectioning OCT) has been widely used to investigate the structural and pathological features of brain samples. OCT is an optical imaging technique that provides both the 3D structure of the tissue as well as the optical properties including the scattering coefficient ( s ) and back-scattering coefficient ( b ). Serial sectioning OCT allows the reconstruction of distortion-free volumetric images at high contrast and high resolution, which has ...

      Advanced endoscopic imaging for detecting and guiding therapy of early neoplasias of the esophagus
      Esophageal cancers, largely adenocarcinoma in Western countries and squamous cell cancer in Asia, present a significant burden of disease and remain one of the most lethal of cancers. Key to improving survival is the development and adoption of new imaging modalities to identify early neoplastic lesions, which may be small, multifocal, subsurface, and difficult to detect by standard endoscopy. Such advanced imaging is particularly relevant with the emergence of ablative ...

      Improving the characterization of ex vivo human brain optical properties using high numerical aperture optical coherence tomography by spatially constraining the confocal parameters
      Significance: The optical properties of biological samples provide information about the structural characteristics of the tissue and any changes arising from pathological conditions. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) has proven to be capable of extracting tissue's optical properties using a model that combines the exponential decay due to tissue scattering and the axial point spread function that arises from the confocal nature of the detection system, particularly for higher numerical ...

      Visible light optical coherence tomography angiography (vis-OCTA) facilitates local microvascular oximetry in the human retina
      We report herein the first visible light optical coherence tomography angiography (vis-OCTA) for human retinal imaging. Compared to the existing vis-OCT systems, we devised a spectrometer with a narrower bandwidth to increase the spectral power density for OCTA imaging, while retaining the major spectral contrast in the blood. We achieved a 100 kHz A-line rate, the fastest acquisition speed reported so far for human retinal vis-OCT. We rigorously optimized the ...

      Comparison of widefield swept-source optical coherence tomography angiography with ultra-widefield colour fundus photography and fluorescein angiography for detection of lesions in diabetic retinopathy
      Aims To compare widefield swept-source optical coherence tomography angiography (WF SS-OCTA) with ultra-widefield colour fundus photography (UWF CFP) and fluorescein angiography (UWF FA) for detecting diabetic retinopathy (DR) lesions. Methods This prospective, observational study was conducted at Massachusetts Eye and Ear from December 2018 to October 2019. Proliferative DR, non-proliferative DR and diabetic patients with no DR were included. All patients were imaged with a WF SS-OCTA using a Montage ...

      Insight into the fundamental trade-offs of diffusion MRI from polarization-sensitive optical coherence tomography in ex vivo human brain
      In the first study comparing high angular resolution diffusion MRI (dMRI) in the human brain to axonal orientation measurements from polarization-sensitive optical coherence tomography (PSOCT), we compare the accuracy of orientation estimates from various dMRI sampling schemes and reconstruction methods. We find that, if the reconstruction approach is chosen carefully, single-shell dMRI data can yield the same accuracy as multi-shell data, and only moderately lower accuracy than a full Cartesian-grid ...

      Special Section Guest Editorial: Advances in Retinal Imaging
      The guest editorial provides an introduction to the Special Section on Advanced Retinal Imaging: Instrumentation, Methods, and Applications. The retina is a peripheral part of the central nerve system (CNS) and shares many similarities with the cerebral cortex. They both have layered anatomy, the same types of functional elements and neurotransmitters, and similar vascular organization and blood-tissue barriers. With far fewer neuronal cell types and simpler anatomical structures, the retina ...

      Optical coherence tomography using physical domain data compression to achieve MHz A-scan rates
      The three-dimensional volumetric imaging capability of optical coherence tomography (OCT) leads to the generation of large amounts of data, which necessitates high speed acquisition followed by high dimensional image processing and visualization. This signal acquisition and processing pipeline demands high A-scan rates on the front end, which has driven researchers to push A-scan acquisition rates into the MHz regime. To this end, the optical time-stretch approach uses a mode locked ...

      Deep spectral learning for label-free optical imaging oximetry with uncertainty quantification
      Measurement of blood oxygen saturation ( s O 2 ) by optical imaging oximetry provides invaluable insight into local tissue functions and metabolism. Despite different embodiments and modalities, all label-free optical-imaging oximetry techniques utilize the same principle of s O 2 -dependent spectral contrast from haemoglobin. Traditional approaches for quantifying s O 2 often rely on analytical models that are fitted by the spectral measurements. These approaches in practice suffer from uncertainties ...
