Abstract
Blood coagulation monitoring is important to diagnose hematological diseases and cardiovascular diseases and to predict the risk of bleeding and excessive clotting. In this study, we developed a system to dynamically monitor blood coagulation and quantitatively determine the coagulation function by blood elastic measurement. When blood forms a clot from a liquid, ultrasonic force induces a shear wave, which is detected by optical coherence tomography (OCT). The coagulation of porcine whole blood recalcified by calcium chloride is assessed using the metrics of reaction time, clot formation kinetics and maximum shear modulus. The OCE system can noninvasively monitor the blood coagulation and quantitatively determine the coagulation function.
