Abstract

In spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT), any transverse motion component of a detected obliquely moving sample results in a nonlinear relationship between the Doppler phase shift and the axial sample velocity restricting phase-resolved Doppler OCT. To circumvent the limitation, we propose the lateral resonant Doppler flow quantification in spectral domain OCT, where the scanner movement velocity is matched to the transverse velocity component of the sample motion.
