Abstract
Speckle-correlation optical scattering imaging (SCOSI) has shown the potential for non-invasive biomedical diagnostic applications, which directly utilizes the scattering patterns to reconstruct the deep and non-line-of-sight objects. However, the course of the translation of this technique to preclinical biomedical imaging applications has been postponed by the following two facts: 1) the field of view of SCOSI was significantly limited by the optical memory effect, and 2) the molecular-tagged functional imaging of the biological tissues remains largely unexplored. In this work, a proof-of-concept design of the first-generation widefield functional SCOSI (WF-SCOSI) system was presented for simultaneously achieving mesoscopic mapping of fluid morphology and flow rate, which was realized by implementing the concepts of scanning synthesis and fluorescence scattering flowmetry. The ex vivo imaging results of the fluorescence-labeled large-scale blood vessel network phantom underneath the strong scatters demonstrated the effectiveness of WF-SCOSI toward non-invasive hemodynamic imaging applications.
