Depth-resolved microscopy of cortical hemodynamics with optical coherence tomography

Vivek J Srinivasan et al. Opt Lett. 2009.

Abstract

We describe depth-resolved microscopy of cortical hemodynamics with high-speed spectral/Fourier domain optical coherence tomography (OCT). Stimulus-evoked changes in blood vessel diameter, flow, and total hemoglobin were measured in the rat somatosensory cortex. The results show OCT measurements of hemodynamic changes during functional activation and represent an important step toward understanding functional hyperemia at the microscopic level.

Fig. 3

(Color online) Extinction coefficient change measured by OCT shows a time course that resembles total hemoglobin. (A) OCT amplitude image on a logarithmic scale, showing a region of interest (ROI) in a capillary bed, and a draining vein (V) near the region of interest. (B) Profile of the natural logarithm of OCT amplitude versus depth, before the stimulus (dotted line) and during peak activation (solid line). (C) Profile of difference between peak activation and baseline, with standard errors and linear fit. (D) Time courses of Δµ_t_ measured by OCT (solid curve), flow in the draining vein measured by OCT (dashed curve), and ΔHbT measured by OISI (dotted curve).
