HEMOGLOBIN CONTRAST IN MAGNETO-MOTIVE OPTICAL DOPPLER TOMOGRAPHY, OPTICAL COHERENCE TOMOGRAPHY, AND ULTRASOUND IMAGING METHODS AND APPARATUS

摘要

A novel contrast mechanism for imaging blood flow using magneto-motive optical Doppler tomography (MM-ODT), Optical Coherence Tomography, and Ultrasound. MM-ODT, OCT, and ultrasound combined with an externally applied temporally oscillating high-strength magnetic field detects erythrocytes moving according to the field gradient.
