Abstract
We present both axial and transverse components estimation using joint Spectral and Time domain Optical Coherence Tomography (STdOCT) method. Whereas axial component of velocity vector can be determined from the time-dependent Doppler beating frequency, the transverse component can be assessed by the analysis of the broadening of flow velocity profiles (Doppler bandwidth). This enables us to quantitatively determine the absolute value of the velocity vector. The accurate analyses are performed using well-defined flow of Intralipid solution in the glass capillary. This enables performing in vivo imaging and allows to calculate velocity maps of the retinal vasculature.
