Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Biomedical Optics
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Laser speckle flowgraphy (LSFG) is crucial for studying ocular blood flow.
  • Dynamic ocular optical changes introduce artifacts in LSFG, hindering accurate detection of retinal vasculature and blood pulsation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a method to correct optical distortions in LSFG for improved ocular blood flow analysis.
  • To enhance the detection of retinal vasculature and blood pulsation in the posterior segment of the human eye.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized Eigen-decomposition to differentiate dynamic speckle patterns from static ocular tissues.
  • Applied spatial filtering to mitigate distortion-correlated modulations in speckle patterns.

Main Results:

  • Significantly improved the integrity and visualization of blood vessels in the retina.
  • Successfully corrected distortions in pulse waveform measurements.
  • Demonstrated enhanced accuracy in detecting ocular blood flow dynamics.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed Eigen-decomposition and spatial filtering method effectively overcomes LSFG artifacts caused by dynamic ocular optics.
  • This technique offers a more reliable approach for quantitative analysis of retinal vasculature and blood pulsation.
