    Published on: July 11, 2025

  • Compared the ED-based method against phase compensation and static high-pass filtering.
  • Evaluated performance using phantom studies (quantitative) and in vivo imaging (qualitative).

    • Main Results:

    • The ED-based technique demonstrated superior clutter suppression compared to existing methods.
    • The method showed less sensitivity to tissue motion, preserving flow information effectively.
    • Improved image contrast was achieved, particularly in the presence of bulk motion.
    • Successful visualization of 3D microvascular structures in a mouse ear was achieved.

    Conclusions:

    • Eigendecomposition- (ED-) based clutter filtering is a robust technique for 3D optical blood flow imaging.
    • This method offers significant advantages in applications with unavoidable involuntary movements, such as retinal imaging.
    • The technique enhances image quality by efficiently suppressing clutter while maintaining critical flow data.
