Absolute retinal blood flowmeter using a laser Doppler velocimeter combined with adaptive optics

Abstract: Significance: The development of a technique allowing for non-invasive measurement of retinal blood flow (RBF) in humans is needed to understand many retinal vascular diseases (pathophysiology) and evaluate treatment with potential improvement of blood flow. Aim: We developed and validated an absolute laser Doppler velocimeter (LDV) based on an adaptive optical fundus camera that provides simultaneously high-definition images of the fundus vessels and absolute maximal red blood cells (RBCs) velocity to calcula… Show more

“…Despite the potential drawbacks of vortices in blood vessels, they also have potential benefits for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. For example, the presence of vortices can indicate the presence of obstructions or changes in vessel diameter [4,5], which can be useful for diagnosing cardiovascular diseases. Additionally, vortices can also be used as a therapeutic tool to improve blood flow and prevent the formation of stenosis or aneurysms.…”

“…HWA has a good signal-to-noise ratio, suitable for studying low-intensity turbulence and spectra. Another LDV suitable for high-intensity fluctuations and accurate timing [7,8]. However, neither technique offers the ability to obtain spatial derivatives, visualize flow, or provide the spatial correlation capabilities that PIV offers.…”

“…Clinicians and researchers can get a better understanding of the hemodynamics of the retinal circulation using this BF assessment as it can also provide information on the resistance and pulsatility indices of the retinal blood vessels. 43 This technique is helpful in studying various retinal vascular conditions such as diabetic retinopathy, retinal vein occlusion, and hypertensive retinopathy. 44 …”

“…understanding of the hemodynamics of the retinal circulation using this BF assessment as it can also provide information on the resistance and pulsatility indices of the retinal blood vessels. 43 This technique is helpful in studying various retinal vascular conditions such as diabetic retinopathy, retinal vein occlusion, and hypertensive retinopathy. 44 The main setback of this technique is that it may be staggered by eye movements and other displacements, media opacities can give rise to blurred images and thus cannot measure circulation in the optic nerve head (ONH).…”
