High-accuracy noninvasive continuous glucose monitoring using OCT angiography-purified blood scattering signals in human skin.

The accuracy of noninvasive continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) through near-infrared scattering is challenged by mixed scattering signals from different compartments, where glucose has a positive correlation with a blood scattering coefficient but a negative correlation with a tissue scattering coefficient. In this study, we developed a high-accuracy noninvasive CGM based on OCT angiography (OCTA)-purified blood scattering signals. The blood optical scattering coefficient (BOC) was initially extracted from the depth attenuation of backscattered light in OCT and then purified by eliminating the scattering signals from the surrounding tissues under the guidance of a 3D OCTA vascular map in human skin.

Three-dimensional optical coherence digital-null deformography of multi-refractive-surface optics with nanometer sensitivity.

Knowledge of the lens deformation during the reliability test is critical for lens design and fabrication. Refractive surface distorts the optical path of probing light, and poses a great challenge to measuring the test-induced nanoscale changes of all refractive lens surfaces simultaneously. In this work, we present an optical coherence digital-null deformography (ODD).

Dynamic inverse SNR-decorrelation OCT angiography with GPU acceleration.

Dynamic OCT angiography (OCTA) is an attractive approach for monitoring stimulus-evoked hemodynamics; however, a 4D (3D space and time) dataset requires a long acquisition time and has a large data size, thereby posing a great challenge to data processing. This study proposed a GPU-based real-time data processing pipeline for dynamic inverse SNR-decorrelation OCTA (ID-OCTA), offering a measured line-process rate of 133 kHz for displaying OCT and OCTA cross-sections in real time. Real-time processing enabled automatic optimization of angiogram quality, which improved the vessel SNR, contrast-to-noise ratio, and connectivity by 14.
