Simultaneous structural and phase OCT data analyses.

<p>Left (A, B, C) and right (D, E, F) panels show data extracted from an image sequence that approximately contains the OFT centerline point of cross-sectional plane 1, and cross-sectional plane 2, respectively (see <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0040869#pone-0040869-g001" target="_blank">Figure 1A</a>). (A) and (D) M-mode structural images, from a line along the OFT image sequence that approximately cut the OFT in half and contained the centerline point. (B) and (E) Corresponding M-phase images (phase angle expressed in radians). (C) and (F) Magnitude of blood velocity vector over the cardiac cycles, extracted along the dotted line in (A) and (D). t: time; T: cardiac cycle period. In (D), horizontal scale bar = 500 ms, and vertical scale bar = 200 µm.
