Abstract
The vascular network in the human brain is universally involved in physiology and neural activity and the alteration is commonly associated with neurological disorders such as traumatic brain injury, stroke, multiple sclerosis, and Alzheimer’s disease. However, small arterioles, venules, and the capillary networks are beyond the resolution of in vivo MRI and optical microscopy only reveals the vasculature of cortex in small animals. We reported a vascular network reconstruction with an automatic serial sectioning polarization sensitive optical coherence tomography at 3.5 micrometer resolution in ex vivo human brain tissue. Pathological patterns surrounding the vessel walls were revealed as well.
