Abstract
Retinal capillary blood flow speeds quantification may provide biomarkers for retinal diseases. While OCTA visualizes the retinal vasculature, it provides limited information about the blood flow speeds. We present an OCTA-based method for measuring quantitative surrogate markers for blood flow speeds in retinal capillaries using a temporal autocorrelation decay model, by acquiring multiple OCT B-scan repeats and compiling OCTA measurements both spatially and temporally. A 600 kHz swept light source enabled short and multiple interscan times with fine A-scan spacing. We show blood flow speed differences among retinal vascular plexuses in healthy eyes and alterations in eyes with diabetic retinopathy.
