Optical coherence tomography-based angiography device with real-time angiography B-scans visualization and hand-held probe for everyday clinical use

: This work is dedicated to the development of the OCT system with angiography for everyday clinical use. Two major problems were solved during the development: compensation of specific natural tissue displacements, induced by contact scanning mode and physiological motion of patients (eg, respiratory and cardiac motions) and online visualization of vessel cross-sections to provide feedback for the system operator.
