Figure 2. En face mapping of lymphatic vessels at different layers of human areola with 5 mm × 5 mm imaging area.

Figure 2

(a) OCT volumetric structural image overlaid with volumetric OMAG acquired within in vivo human areola. (b) OCT cross-sectional image taken from the OCT volumetric data, pointed with dashed black line in (a). SC: Stratum Corneum, E: Epidermis, EDJ: Epidermal-dermal junction, D: Dermis. (c) Segmented and processed cross section of dermis, pointed out at (b) with white dashed lines. (d) En face OMAG image with depth-resolved MIP. (e) Sketch of human areola where OCT image is taken from. (f–h) En face sMIP of lymphatic vessels from 0–200 um of dermis (f), 200–400 um of dermis (g), and 400–600 um of dermis (h). Red arrows point out some of the lymphatic vessels seen as low-scattering (dark) regions. [Figure (e) art by Uktu Baran].
