As preliminary data, we acquired three different mice models and visualized the outer retinal thickness and melanin concentration.

LSCI has a broad application in medicine including dermatology. Since laser speckles are the basis for this imaging modality, any external motions during a measurement from both patient and operator affect the blood flow images. This challenge is called Motion Artefacts (MA). Here, we propose a complete procedure for analysis of speckles, that is, pre-segmentation, segmentation, motion detection, spatial alignment, perfusion map calculation and MA suppression. The Handheld Perfusion Imager (HAPI) operated in both handheld and mounted schemes, has been used for measurements on 14 psoriasis subjects. The advantage of HAPI is use of a single monochromatic camera for both speckle imaging and motion detection. We make use of the black marker dots (made by the clinical investigator to determine visual psoriasis lesion boundary) for calculation of two-dimensional displacements of HAPI during each measurement (i.e. on-surface displacements). These on-surface displacements are integrated to translate each speckle image back to the initial position at the start of the measurement (i.e. spatial alignment). Furthermore, in handheld measurements, MA corrected blood flow maps (also called perfusion maps) are formed by extrapolation of a linear fit from local perfusion versus detected speed to the zero speed, that is, a value ideally always lower than the local mean perfusion. We show that our MA suppression technique makes handheld perfusion maps more similar to the associated mounted perfusion maps in term image histograms and mean values.","PeriodicalId":278089,"journal":{"name":"European Conference on Biomedical Optics","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124382481","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The main goal of speckle reduction is to improve the diagnostic utility of OCT images by enhancing the image quality, thereby enhancing the visual interpretation of anatomical structures. We have previously introduced a probabilistic despeckling method based on non-local means for OCT—Tomographic Non-local-means despeckling (TNode). We demonstrated that this method efficiently suppresses speckle contrast while preserving tissue structures with dimensions approaching the system resolution. Despite the merits of this method, it is computationally very expensive: processing a typical retinal OCT volume takes a few hours. A much faster version of TNode with close to real-time performance, while keeping with the open source nature of TNode, could find much greater use in the OCT community. Deep learning despeckling methods have been proposed in OCT, including variants of conditional Generative Adversarial Networks (cGAN) and convolutional neural networks CNN. However, most of these methods have used B-scan compounding as a ground truth, which presents significant limitations in terms of speckle reduced tomograms with preservation of resolution. In addition, all these methods have focused on speckle suppression of individual B-scans, and their performance on volumetric tomograms is unclear: the expectation is that three-dimensional manipulations of these processed tomograms (i.e., en face projections) will contain artifacts due to the B-scan-wise processing, disrupting the continuity of tissue structures along the slow-scan axis. In addition, speckle suppression based on individual B-scans cannot provide the neural network with information on volumetric structures in the training data, and thus is expected to perform poorly on small structures. Indeed, most deep-learning despeckling works have focused on image quality metrics based on demonstrating strong speckle suppression, rather than focusing on preservation of contrast and small tissue structures. To overcome these problems, we propose an entire workflow to enable the wide-spread use of deep-learning speckle suppression in OCT: the ground-truth is generated using volumetric TNode despeckling, and the neural network uses a new cGAN that receives OCT partial volumes as inputs to utilize the three-dimensional structural information for speckle reduction. Because of its reliance on TNode for generating ground-truth data, this hybrid deep-learning–TNode (DL-TNode) framework will be made available to the OCT community to enable easy training and implementation in a multitude of OCT systems without relying on specialty-acquired training data.","PeriodicalId":278089,"journal":{"name":"European Conference on Biomedical Optics","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134112662","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
