Abstract: Systems and methods for determining microvascular functions in a sample of a subject are provided. A system obtains one or more spectral interference signals from the sample during one or more scans, extracts data from the spectral interference signals concerning cell, tissue, or particle motion within the sample via one or more optical microangiography algorithms, and calculates volumetric properties from the data indicative of fluid motion within the sample. The system and method may be used for diagnosing, providing a prognosis, or monitoring treatment of a disorder of the sample.

Abstract: A system and method for measuring tissue motion within a living tissue of the anterior segment and aqueous outflow system of the eye in a subject are provided. Tissue movements are extracted from a plurality of images acquired from the living tissue using an optical coherence tomography system. The images may be corrected using motion compensation. To extract the tissue movements from the images, waves from a cardiac pulse or other externally induced pulses from the subject are acquired, and a pulse wave is defined for a given time, which is then correlated with a velocity wave defined for a velocity of tissue and/or fluid movement within the tissue region for the same given time. Pulsatile motion is then isolated in the tissue region from the plurality of images.

Abstract: Systems and methods for determining mechanical properties of a biological tissue in a subject are provided. A low coherence optical interferometer detects waves generated from a surface of a tissue in a subject. The waves are generated from elastographic deformation of the tissue induced by an impulse stimulation. Phase velocities can then be determined from the waves, and elastographic properties from the phase velocities, including an elasticity value for a portion of the surface of the tissue.
