      Advances in Optical Coherence Tomography for Retinal Oximetry and Angiography (Thesis)
      Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a high-resolution, non-contact, three-dimensional imaging technique, which has revolutionized the diagnosis and treatment of retinal diseases. Visible-light OCT (vis-OCT) extends OCT by enabling retinal oximetry the measurement of oxygen saturation of hemoglobin from within individual retinal blood vessels. Three advances in the vis-OCT technique are presented: an improved vis-OCT oximetry method based on circumpapillary scan and graph-search segmentation; the calibration, simulation, and correction of spectroscopic ...

      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 ...

      Acute Hyperglycemia Reverses Neurovascular Coupling During Dark to Light Adaptation in Healthy Subjects on Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography
      Purpose : To test the hypothesis that hyperglycemia perturbs neurovascular\ coupling and compromises retinal vascular response during transition from dark to light in healthy subjects using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA). Methods : Ten eyes of 10 healthy subjects were tested, first during fasting and then after receiving a 75-g oral glucose solution. In both sessions, OCTA imaging was done in the dark-adapted state and at 50 seconds, 2 minutes, 5 minutes ...

      Purpose : The purpose of this study was to investigate the acute effects of caffeine on retinal hemodynamics during dark to light adaptation using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA). Methods : Thirteen healthy individuals (13 eyes) underwent OCTA imaging after dark adaptation and at repeated intervals during the transition to ambient light in two imaging sessions: control and after ingesting 200 mg of caffeine. We analyzed the parafoveal vessel density (VD) and ...

      Spectrally dependent roll-off in visible-light optical coherence tomography
      Recent development of visible-light optical coherence tomography (vis-OCT) has introduced new applications for noninvasive spectroscopic imaging. However, the measured spectra may be altered by spectrally dependent roll-off (SDR). We formulated a mathematical model for SDR that accounted for nonuniform wavenumber spacing, optical aberrations, and misalignments in the spectrometer. We simulated SDR based on this model and found strong agreement with measurements from a vis-OCT system. We verified that SDR altered ...

      Application of automated quantification of fluid volumes to anti-VEGF therapy of neovascular age-related macular degeneration
      Purpose Anti-VEGF treatment of neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a highly effective advance in the retinal armentarium. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) offering three-dimensional imaging of the retina is widely used to guide treatment. Although poor outcomes reported from clinical practice are multifactorial, availability of reliable, reproducible, and quantitative evaluation tools to accurately measure the fluid response i.e. a VEGF meter may be a better means of monitoring and ...

      Exploring in vivo Optical Imaging Oximetry by Visible Light Optical Coherence Tomography (Thesis)
      Biological functions rely on microvasculature to deliver oxygen and nutrients and carry away metabolic waste. Measuring microvascular oxygen saturation (sO2), the fraction of oxygensaturated hemoglobin relative to total hemoglobin (unsaturated + saturated) in the blood, can assess tissue oxygenation and provide insights into tissue metabolism, inflammation, and oxygen-related pathologies. Several major diseases, such as cancer, diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular diseases, hypertension, chronic kidney disease, and neurodegenerative diseases, are related to local microvascular ...
