Abstract
Live imaging of the mouse embryonic heart in 4D (3D+time) is critical for quantitative understanding of the early mammalian cardiac function and development. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) allows for 4D imaging of the cardiodynamics and hemodynamics in the mouse embryo with a unique and important spatiotemporal imaging scale. However, a limited accessibility of the reconstruction method to produce high-quality 4D OCT visualizations of the beating heart acts as a hurdle for a broader application of OCT in studying the embryonic heart. Here, we present an open-source, highly efficient, post-acquisition synchronization method to address this limitation.
