Pulsatile Tissue Deformation Dynamics of the Murine Retina and Choroid Mapped by 4D Optical Coherence Tomography
BIOMEDICAL OPTICS EXPRESS(2022)
摘要
Irregular ocular pulsatility and altered mechanical tissue properties are associated with some of the most sight-threatening eye diseases. Here we present 4D optical coherence tomography (OCT) for the quantitative assessment and depth-resolved mapping of pulsatile dynamics in the murine retina and choroid. Through a pixel-wise analysis of phase changes of the complex OCT signal, we reveal spatiotemporal displacement characteristics across repeated frame acquisitions. We demonstrate in vivo fundus elastography (FUEL) imaging in wildtype mouse retinas and in a mouse model of retinal neovascularization and uncover subtle structural deformations related to ocular pulsation. Our data in mouse eyes hold promise for a powerful retinal elastography technique that may enable a new paradigm of OCT-based measurements and image contrast.
