3. Shear-Induced Diffusion of Red Blood Cells Measured with Dynamic Light Scattering-Optical Coherence Tomography
  
  Explore Wiley Online Library Jul 12 2017
  
  Quantitative measurements of intravascular microscopic dynamics, such as absolute blood flow velocity, shear stress, and the diffusion coefficient of red blood cells (RBCs), are fundamental to understanding the blood flow behavior within the microcirculation, and for understanding why diffuse correlation spectroscopy (DCS) measurements of blood flow are dominantly sensitive to the diffusive motion of RBCs. Dynamic Light Scattering-Optical Coherence Tomography (DLS-OCT) takes the advantages of using DLS to measure particle ...

4. Polarization-sensitive optical coherence tomography of the human brain connectome
  
  Explore Home: SPIE.org Jan 27 2017 Neurology
  
  The human brain is composed of approximately 100 billion neurons that communicate through an intricate network of axons and dendrites. 1 The difficulty of tracing these 3D neuronal pathways, however, has been a critical barrier for standard histology (the study of microscopic anatomy) over the past 100 years. Indeed, there is still no technology that can be used to acquire microscopic images in undistorted 3D space for mapping human brain ...

5. Impact of temporal resolution on estimating capillary RBC-flux with optical coherence tomography
  
  Explore SPIE | Journal Jan 27 2017
  
  Optical coherence tomography (OCT) has been used to measure capillary red blood cell (RBC) flux. However, one important technical issue is that the accuracy of this method is subject to the temporal resolution (tt) of the repeated RBC-passage B-scans. A ceiling effect arises due to an insufficientttlimiting the maximum RBC-flux that can be measured. In this letter, we first present simulations demonstrating thatt=1.5mst=1.5mspermits measuring RBC-flux up ...

6. Optical coherence tomography imaging of capillary reperfusion after ischemic stroke
  
  Explore OSA | OSA Publishing Nov 16 2016 Neurology
  
  Although progress has been made for recanalization therapies after ischemic stroke, post-treatment imaging studies show that tissue reperfusion cannot be attained despite satisfactory recanalization in a significant percentage of patients. Hence, investigation of microcirculatory changes in both surface and deep cortical levels after ischemia reperfusion is important for understanding the post-stroke blood flow dynamics. In this study, we applied optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging of cerebral blood flow for the ...

8. Polarization sensitive optical coherence microscopy for brain imaging
  
  Explore OSA | OSA Publishing May 9 2016 Neurology
  
  Optical coherence tomography (OCT) and optical coherence microscopy (OCM) have demonstrated the ability to investigate cyto- and myelo-architecture in the brain. Polarization-sensitive OCT provides sensitivity to additional contrast mechanisms, specifically the birefringence of myelination and, therefore, is advantageous for investigating white matter fiber tracts. In this Letter, we developed a polarization-sensitive optical coherence microscope (PS-OCM) with a 3.5 m axial and 1.3 m transverse resolution to investigate fiber ...

  An optical technology already widely used in ophthalmology and other medical fields holds potential to reveal how blood flows in the brain during stroke, providing information that could someday guide new treatments and reduce stroke-induced damage to the brain. A new article published in the journal Neurophotonics describes work at the University of Washington (UW) using optical coherence tomography (OCT) to render high-resolution images and information about blood-flow dynamics over ...

13. Multimodal reconstruction of microvascular-flow distributions using combined two-photon microscopy and Doppler optical coherence tomography
  
  Explore SPIE | Journal Mar 18 2015
  
  Computing microvascular cerebral blood flow ( CBF ) in real cortical angiograms is challenging. Here, we investigated whether the use of Doppler optical coherence tomography (DOCT) flow measurements in individual vessel segments can help in reconstructing CBF across the entire vasculature of a truncated cortical angiogram. A CBF computational framework integrating DOCT measurements is presented. Simulations performed on a synthetic angiogram showed that the addition of DOCT measurements, especially close to large ...

  The cytoarchitecture of the human brain is of great interest in diverse fields: neuroanatomy, neurology, neuroscience, and neuropathology. Traditional histology is a method that has been historically used to assess cell and fiber content in the ex vivo human brain. However, this technique suffers from significant distortions. We used a previously demonstrated optical coherence microscopy technique to image individual neurons in several square millimeters of en-face tissue blocks from layer ...
