Comparative study of OCTA algorithms with a high-sensitivity multi-contrast Jones matrix OCT system for human skin imaging

Abstract

The multi-contrast Jones matrix OCT (JMT) system can not only improve the tissue-specific contrast but also enhance the sensitivity of detecting flow, which is gaining increasing attention. However, for the JMT system, there is currently a lack of studies evaluating and guiding the selection of suitable angiography algorithms to map the most appealing quality of angiograms for clinical use. In this paper, by a homemade high-sensitivity multi-contrast JMT system based 200 kHz swept source, the performance of two complex-signal-based OCTA methods that are insensitive to phase instability and one amplitude-signal-based OCTA method are compared for in-vivo imaging of human skin qualitatively and quantitatively. Six metrics, including vascular connectivity, image contrast-to-noise ratio, image signal-to-noise ratio, vessel diameter index, blood vessel density, and processing time, are assessed. The results show that the vascular networks processed by all OCTA methods and the texture of skin could be visualized simultaneously and markedly. Additionally, the complex-signal-based OCTA methods successfully suppress phase instabilities and even outperform the amplitude-signal-based OCTA algorithm in some indicators. This paper has a certain guiding significance for selecting an appropriate angiography algorithm and expanding the application field with this system.
