Abstract
The use of a gated imaging system for the 4D optical coherence tomography of the embryonic heart was discussed. B-scans from different locations were captured when heart was in a particular phase of the cardiac cycle. 2D images were acquired in 62.5 ms, which provided good temporal resolution to distinguish end-contraction from end-relaxation. 8232 voxels within the ventricle in end-relaxation were recorded and 3583 voxels in end-contraction, which yielded an ejection fraction of 56%.
