We demonstrate the use of an ultra-high-speed swept-source optical coherence tomography (OCT) to achieve optical micro-angiography (OMAG) of microcirculatory tissue beds in vivo. The system is based on a 1310-nm Fourier domain mode-locking (FDML) laser with 1.6-MHz A-line rate, providing a frame rate of 3.415 KHz, an axial resolution of ∼10 μm and signal to noise ratio of 102 dB. Motion from blood flow causes change in OCT signals between consecutive B-frames acquired at the same location. Intensity-based inter-frame subtraction algorithm is applied to extract blood flow from tissue background without any motion correction. We demonstrate the capability of this 1.6-MHz OCT system for 4D OMAG of in vivo tissue at a volume rate of 4.7 volumes/s (volume size: 512×200×720 voxels).
我们展示了使用超高速扫频源光学相干断层扫描(OCT)在体内实现微循环组织床的光学微血管造影(OMAG)。该系统基于一台1310纳米的傅里叶域锁模(FDML)激光器,A线速率为1.6兆赫兹,帧率为3.415千赫兹,轴向分辨率约为10微米,信噪比为102分贝。血流运动导致在同一位置采集的连续B帧之间的OCT信号发生变化。基于强度的帧间减法算法被应用于从组织背景中提取血流,无需任何运动校正。我们展示了这个1.6兆赫兹OCT系统以4.7体积/秒的体积速率对体内组织进行4D OMAG的能力(体积大小:512×200×720体素)。
