Abstract
We present experimental results using ex-vivo human blood in a setup built to mimic the scattering and flow properties of retinal vasculature. This system controls sources of imaging variability to assist with extracting the core physical principles required to better understand in-vivo OCT, doppler OCT, and SLO data. The setup consists of a flow system which is able to manipulate the blood oxygenation level/flow velocity and interchangeable silicone-elastomer capillaries which acts as an optical window to the flow medium. Here, we reproduce the well-known hour-glass profile in an OCT B-scan cross-section of our phantom capillary, typically seen in small-diameter vasculature.
