Real-time line-field optical coherence tomography for cellular resolution imaging of biological tissue
BIOMEDICAL OPTICS EXPRESS(2024)
Abstract
A real-time line -field optical coherence tomography (LF-OCT) system is demonstrated with image acquisition rates of up to 5000 B -frames or 2.5 million A -lines per second for 500 A -lines per B -frame. The system uses a high-speed low-cost camera to achieve continuous data transfer rates required for real-time imaging, allowing the evaluation of future applications in clinical or intraoperative environments. The light source is an 840 nm super -luminescent diode. Leveraging parallel computing with GPU and high speed CoaXPress data transfer interface, we were able to acquire, process, and display OCT data with low latency. The studied system uses anamorphic beam shaping in the detector arm, optimizing the field of view and sensitivity for imaging biological tissue at cellular resolution. The lateral and axial resolution measured in air were 1.7 mu m and 6.3 mu m, respectively. Experimental results demonstrate real-time inspection of the trabecular meshwork and Schlemm's canal on ex vivo corneoscleral wedges and real-time imaging of endothelial cells of human subjects in vivo.
