Journal ArticleDOI
Theoretical model of optical coherence tomography for system optimization and characterization.
TL;DR: In this article, a detailed analytical model to describe optical coherence tomography (OCT) systems is presented, which considers the propagation of the optical field within a scattering medium in the framework of the extended Huygens-Fresnel principle.
Journal ArticleDOI
Does group velocity always reflect elastic modulus in shear wave elastography
Ivan Pelivanov,Liang Gao,John J. Pitre,Mitchell A. Kirby,Shaozhen Song,David S. Li,Tueng T. Shen,Ruikang K. Wang,Matthew O'Donnell +8 more
TL;DR: The OCE community is urged to be careful in using the group velocity to evaluate tissue elasticity and to focus on developing robust reconstruction methods to accurately reconstruct images of the shear elastic modulus in bounded media.
Journal ArticleDOI
Automatic estimation of point-spread-function for deconvoluting out-of-focus optical coherence tomographic images using information entropy-based approach.
TL;DR: An automatic point spread function (PSF) estimation method to de-blur out-of-focus optical coherence tomography (OCT) images by utilizing Richardson-Lucy deconvolution algorithm to deconvolve noisy defocused images with a family of Gaussian PSFs with different beam spot sizes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Depth profiling of photothermal compound concentrations using phase sensitive optical coherence tomography
TL;DR: A model that describes the concentration of photothermal (light-to-heat converters) compounds as a function of depth in a turbid medium is developed and the coefficients are empirically determined using solid homogeneous gel phantoms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thrombin Mutant W215A/E217A Treatment Improves Neurological Outcome and Reduces Cerebral Infarct Size in a Mouse Model of Ischemic Stroke
Michelle A. Berny-Lang,Sawan Hurst,Erik I. Tucker,Leslie A. Pelc,Ruikang K. Wang,Ruikang K. Wang,Patricia D. Hurn,Enrico Di Cera,Owen J. T. McCarty,Andras Gruber +9 more
TL;DR: THE AUTHORS treatment is neuroprotective without hemostasis impairment in experimental acute ischemic stroke in mice and thus may provide an alternative to tissue plasminogen activator for stroke treatment.
