Article Abstract

To our knowledge, all existing optical coherence tomography approaches for quantifying blood flow, whether Doppler-based or decorrelation-based, analyze light that is back-scattered by moving red blood cells (RBCs). This work investigates the potential advantages of basing these measurements on light that is forward-scattered by RBCs, i.e., by looking at the signals back-scattered from below the vessel. We show experimentally that flowmetry based on forward-scattering is insensitive to vessel orientation for vessels that are approximately orthogonal to the imaging beam. We further provide proof-of-principle demonstrations of dynamic forward-scattering (DFS) flowmetry in human retinal and choroidal vessels.

Retin Cases Brief Rep

September 2025

Retinal Disorders and Ophthalmic Genetics Division, Stein Eye Institute, University of California of Los Angeles, David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, Los Angeles, California, United States.

Purpose: To describe a case of recalcitrant bilateral peripapillary pachychoroid syndrome (PPS) treated with high-dose (HD) intravitreal aflibercept injections.

Methods: Medical and imaging records were retrospectively evaluated. Multimodal imaging included ultra-widefield indocyanine green and fluorescein angiography and fundus autofluorescence.

Intravascular optical coherence tomography (OCT) has represented a revolutionary invasive imaging method, offering high-resolution cross-sectional views of human coronary arteries, thereby promoting a significant evolution in the understanding of vascular biology in both acute and chronic coronary pathologies. Since the development of OCT in the early 1990s, this technique has provided detailed insights into vascular biology, enabling a more thorough assessment of coronary artery disease (CAD) and the impact of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Moreover, a series of recent clinical trials has consistently demonstrated the clinical benefits of intravascular imaging (IVI) and OCT-guided PCI, showing improved outcomes compared to angiography-guided procedures, particularly in cases of complex coronary pathology.
