Abstract
Biomechanical force exerted by early blood flow regulates heart development and alterations can result in congenital heart defects. To investigate dynamics during early cardiac development in mouse models of human disease, optical coherence tomography (OCT) based functional analysis methods are actively being developed. Here, by integrating and expanding recent OCT cardiodynamic techniques, we demonstrate a quantitative OCT angiography method capable of dynamic, volumetric flow analysis in embryonic vasculature and within the beating heart. The presented method will allow biomechanical studies of the role that early blood flow plays in regulating mammalian heart development.
