This study develops a handheld optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) system that uses a high-speed (200 kHz) swept laser with a dual-reference common-path configuration for stable and fast imaging. The common-path design automatically avoids polarization and dispersion mismatches by using one circulator as the primary system element, ensuring a cost-effective and compact design for handheld probe use. With its stable envelope (i.e., sub-µm shifts) and phase variation (corresponding to nm changes in axial displacement), the minimum detectable flow velocity is ∼ 0.08 mm/s in our experiment, which gives the common-path setup a high potential for application in a handheld OCTA system for clinical skin screening. In vivo skin structures and microvasculature networks on the dorsum of the hand and cheek of a healthy human are imaged successfully.

Metastasis represents a stage in which the therapeutic objective changes from curing disease to prolonging survival, as detection typically occurs at advanced stages. Technologies for the early identification of disease would enable treatment at a lower disease burden and heterogeneity. Herein, we investigate the vascular dynamics within a synthetic metastatic niche as a potential marker of disease progression.

Brain diseases are a leading cause of disability and death worldwide. Early detection can lead to earlier intervention and better outcomes for patients. In recent years, optical coherence tomography (OCT) and OCT angiography (OCTA) imaging have been widely used in stroke, traumatic brain injury (TBI), and brain cancer due to their advantages of , unlabeled, and high-resolution 3D microvessel imaging at the capillary resolution level.
