Abstract
This study introduces an ultra-wide field (UWF) and high-resolution swept-source optical coherence tomographic angiography (OCTA) system for rat retinal imaging. Using an asymmetrical optics design, the system achieves unprecedented details of retinal structures and vascular plexuses over a large field of view (112°) in a single-shot acquisition. Views of single-nerve fiber bundles and single capillary vessels are consistently visible over a 112° field of view. The system has a long imaging range and high penetration and allows a full view of vitreous hyaloid vessels, retina, choroid, sclera, and posterior ciliary arteries, down to sub-sclera connective tissues. In a longitudinal study of oxygen-induced retinopathy (OIR) in rats, the system successfully revealed the progression and regression of OIR-related vascular pathologies, such as ischemia, neovascularization, and tortuosity. To our knowledge, this novel UWF-OCT/OCTA prototype designed for rat retinal imaging will be a vital tool for monitoring disease progression and evaluating therapeutic interventions in preclinical models.
期刊介绍:
The Optical Society (OSA) publishes high-quality, peer-reviewed articles in its portfolio of journals, which serve the full breadth of the optics and photonics community.
Optics Letters offers rapid dissemination of new results in all areas of optics with short, original, peer-reviewed communications. Optics Letters covers the latest research in optical science, including optical measurements, optical components and devices, atmospheric optics, biomedical optics, Fourier optics, integrated optics, optical processing, optoelectronics, lasers, nonlinear optics, optical storage and holography, optical coherence, polarization, quantum electronics, ultrafast optical phenomena, photonic crystals, and fiber optics. Criteria used in determining acceptability of contributions include newsworthiness to a substantial part of the optics community and the effect of rapid publication on the research of others. This journal, published twice each month, is where readers look for the latest discoveries in optics.
