METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR MEASURING BLOOD OXYGENATION OF TISSUE
An apparatus and method of measuring oxygenation of tissue in a non-invasive manner are provided. The apparatus comprises a light source configured to emit a light pattern to be projected onto the tissue, in which the light pattern comprises superimposed patterns having different patterns. A detector captures an image of a reflected light pattern which is reflected from the tissue as a result of the projected light pattern. A processor coupled to the detector can be configured to perform a transform on the image of the reflected light pattern and determine oxygenation of each of a plurality of layers of the tissue in response to the transform of the image. Polarimetry can be used in determining a change in polarization angle of light beam. Tissue oxygenation can be determined at a plurality of layers from one snapshot, for example oxygenation of retinal layers.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR CAPILLARY OXIMETRY USING OPTICAL COHERENCE TOMOGRAPHY
Disclosed herein are methods and systems for capillary oximetry (e.g., retinal capillary oximetry) using optical coherence tomography (OCT). The method may include obtaining an OCT angiography dataset, performing capillary segmentation based on the OCT angiography dataset to obtain capillary segments, resampling, registering, and/or averaging B-scans of the OCT angiography dataset that correspond to a first capillary segment of the capillary segments to obtain an averaged B-scan for the first capillary segment, determining an anterior and posterior border of the first capillary segment, and determining an oxygen saturation of the first capillary segment based on the averaged B-scan, the anterior border, and the posterior border. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.
METHODS FOR PREVENTING AND TREATING DIABETIC RETINOPATHY AND DIABETIC MACULAR EDEMA
The present disclosure provides methods for preventing or treating ocular diseases such as diabetic retinopathy and diabetic macular edema, wherein the methods include administering non-invasive photobiomodulation light therapy comprising a light having a wavelength in a red wavelength range. Biomarkers and diagnostic assays for selecting a treatment are also provided.
Retinal blood vessel oximetry using retinal auofluorescence
Systems and methods for quantitatively imaging retinal blood vessel oxygen saturation using retinal auto-fluorescence (AF) are provided. One or more excitation sources can be used to provide light to the retina, and retinal AF can be detected by one or more detectors. The quantitative level of oxygen saturation in the blood can be determined based on the intensity of AF.

SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PERFORMING GABOR OPTICAL COHERENCE TOMOGRAPHIC ANGIOGRAPHY
Systems and methods are provided for performing optical coherence tomography angiography for the rapid generation of en face images. According to one example embodiment, differential interferograms obtained using a spectral domain or swept source optical coherence tomography system are convolved with a Gabor filter, where the Gabor filter is computed according to an estimated surface depth of the tissue surface. The Gabor-convolved differential interferogram is processed to produce an en face image, without requiring the performing of a fast Fourier transform and k-space resampling. In another example embodiment, two interferograms are separately convolved with a Gabor filter, and the amplitudes of the Gabor-convolved interferograms are subtracted to generate a differential Gabor-convolved interferogram amplitude frame, which is then further processed to generate an en face image in the absence of performing a fast Fourier transform and k-space resampling. The example OCTA methods disclosed herein are shown to achieve faster data processing speeds compared to conventional OCTA algorithms.
