Speech Title: "Multimodal and Multiscale Image Analysis of Perfusion in Rodent Skin Flap"
¡¡
Abstract: Necrosis and dysfunction of the tissue are highly related to the blood flow and blood component in it. However, the details of the relationship are not fully elucidated. The purpose of this study is to investigate this relationship using a rat flap which is a partly pulled-out thick skin with blood circulation. In this study, under controlling the oxygen saturation and the flow of the blood in vivo, the reflection and transmission images of entire flap are captured with a hyper-spectral camera, a high-definition color camera and an infrared camera. Microscopic histological images of resected specimen are also captured by a whole slide imager. Using those obtained images, multidimensional image analysis is performed to understand the vascular structure, blood flow and those changes over time. In the presentation, a part of this image analysis is demonstrated.

Speech Title: "Advances in Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography"
¡¡
Abstract: Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) is a new medical imaging modality in which OCT is used to create functional retinal microvascular networks with high resolution without a need for contrasting dyes. Our group is responsible for the development of optical microangiography (OMAG) that was subsequently ported to Carl Zeiss OCT systems, including spectral domain and swept source OCT configurations. The ability to visualize functional microvascular blood flow is important in a variety of diseases, some of which (along with the OCTA/OMAG basics and the enabling technologies) will be highlighted in this talk. Clinical examples using OCTA will be given, including ophthalmology, dermatology and dentistry.
