OCT-A complex variance​

OCT angiography method based on variations in the​

complex (amplitude and phase) OCT signal from​

repeated B-scans at the same location. There are a​

number of factors that may cause a change in the OCT​

signalfrequencyrelativetothesignalduetostatictissue​

background. These factors include, for example, the​

Doppler effect that induces optical frequency shift and​

thechangeinbackscatteringduetotheparticlesthatare​

moving in and out of the OCT-probe volume during​

imaging. The changes in signal frequency cause the​

changesinboththeamplitudeandthephaseoftheOCT​

signal.Comparisonofthecomplex(amplitudeandphase)​

signal from repeated B-scans at the same location​

provides an image that has higher contrast in areas of​

erythrocyte motion. This method is referred to as​

OCT-based micro-angiography - complex (OMAGC).​

spatial statistics of the intensity of speckle from OCT​

images and identifies blood vessels.​
