Absolute Blood Flow Measurement of early Stage Chicken Embryo Heart Using High Speed 4D Optical Coherence Tomography

Article Preview

Abstract:

The measurement of blood-plasma absolute velocity distributions with spatial and temporal resolution in vivo is important for research on early stage embryo heart development. We introduce a novel method to measure absolute blood flow velocity based on high speed spectral domain Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) and applied it to measure velocities on the heart outflow tract (OFT) of a chicken embryo (stage HH18).
