<p>An optical coherence tomography system (10) comprises an interferometer (12), including an optical radiation source (16), a sample arm (22), and a reference arm (26), and a data processing system (56). A method for generating a velocity-indicating, tomographic image of a sample (32) includes the steps of (a) acquiring cross-correlation data from the interferometer (12); (b) generating a grayscale image from the cross-correlation data indicative of a depth-dependent position of scatterers in the sample; (c) processing the cross-correlation data to produce a velocity value and location of a moving scatterer in the sample; (d) assigning a color value to the velocity value; and (e) merging the color into the grayscale image, at a point in the grayscale image indicative of the moving scatterer's location, to produce a velocity-indicating, tomographic image.</p> |
