Validation of Dynamic optical coherence tomography for non-invasive, in vivo microcirculation imaging of the skin

This study has initiated validation of the use of D-OCT for imaging of skin blood flow. Our results showed that D-OCT was able to reliably image and identify changes in the skin vasculature consistent with the induced physiological blood flow changes. These basic findings support the use of D-OCT imaging for in vivo microcirculation imaging of the skin.
