Abstract
Noninvasive monitoring of blood flow in retinal microcirculation may elucid ate the progression and treatment of ocular disorders, including diabetic r etinopathy, age-related macular degeneration, and glaucoma. Color Doppler o ptical coherence tomography (CDOCT) is a technique that allows simultaneous micrometer-scale resolution cross-sectional imaging of tissue microstructu re and blood flow in living tissues. CDOCT is demonstrated for the first ti me in living human subjects for bidirectional blood-flow mapping of retinal vasculature. (C) 2000 Optical Society of America.
