Microvascular imaging and monitoring of human oral cavity lesions in vivo by swept-source OCT-based angiography.
TL;DR: The development of optical coherence tomography- (OCT) based angiography (O CTA) to image blood flow within microcirculatory tissue beds in human oral cavity in vivo with a field of view at 10 mm × 10 mm is reported.

TL;DR: Non-contact acoustic micro-tapping optical coherence elastography for evaluating biomechanical changes in the cornea following UV/riboflavin collagen cross linking is used in ex vivo human study.
Segmentation and quantification of blood vessels for OCT-based micro-angiograms using hybrid shape/intensity compounding
TL;DR: This paper proposes a hybrid Hessian/intensity based method to segment and quantify shape and diameter of the blood vessels innervating capillary beds that are imaged by functional OCT in vivo and believes that this method will play an important role in the quantification of micro-angiograms for microcirculation research in ophthalmology and diagnosing retinal eye diseases involved with micro Circulation.
Strategies to improve phase-stability of ultrafast swept source optical coherence tomography for single shot imaging of transient mechanical waves at 16 kHz frame rate.
Shaozhen Song,Wei Wei,Bao-Yu Hsieh,Ivan Pelivanov,Tueng T. Shen,Matthew O'Donnell,Ruikang K. Wang +6 more
TL;DR: This work presents single-shot phase-sensitive imaging of propagating mechanical waves within tissue, enabled by an ultrafast optical coherence tomography (OCT) system powered by a 1.628 MHz Fourier domain mode-locked (FDML) swept laser source, promising non-contact, real-time, and high-resolution Optical coherence elastography.
