Split-spectrum dual-domain phase-intensity fusion optical coherence tomography angiography
Abstract:
Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) provides micrometer-resolution maps of the retinal microvasculature. However, even slight ocular motion can introduce pronounced motion artifacts that degrade image quality. To overcome this, we present a split-spectrum dual-domain phase-intensity fusion algorithm. The approach mitigates low-frequency phase drift in the time domain, corrects systematic phase errors in the frequency domain, and integrates complementary amplitude-decorrelation and phase-difference information. Independent processing of spectral sub-bands further enhances the flow signal-to-noise ratio. In vivo mouse-retina imaging shows that, even without additional inter-frame registration, the method markedly improves angiographic contrast and signal fidelity while greatly reducing motion artifacts. This technique provides a reliable path to high-quality OCTA under dynamic conditions or at low acquisition frame rates.

Computed Tomography
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...
Phase Contrast and Differential Interference Contrast Microscopy
In-phase-contrast microscopes, interference between light directly passing through a cell and light refracted by cellular components is used to create high-contrast, high-resolution images without staining. It is the oldest and simplest type of microscope that creates an image by altering the wavelengths of light rays passing through the specimen. Altered wavelength paths are created using an annular stop in the condenser. The annular stop produces a hollow cone of...
