In vivo mice brain microcirculation monitoring based on contrast-enhanced SD-OCT

In this paper, we proposed a contrast-enhanced homemade spectral domain optical coherence tomography 2005 buick century starter (SD-OCT) method for monitoring of brain microcirculation.We used the polyethylene glycol (PEG)-ylated gold nanorods (GNRs) as a contrast-enhanced agent, obtained clearly 2D and 3D OCT images of blood vessels and dynamic changes of probes in mouse blood vessels.Owing to high scattering of the PEG-GNRs, more tiny blood vessels can be imaged and the OCT signal cortech sonic-flo gloves can be enhanced by 5.87 dB after injection of PEG-GNRs for 20min, the enhancement then declined gradually for 60min.

Our results demonstrate an effective technique for the enhanced imaging of blood vessels in vivo, especially for studies of the brain microcirculation, which could be serviced for disease mechanism research and therapeutic drug monitoring.
