Extracellular matrix contraction by choroidal fibroblasts: inhibition by staurosporine.

abstract：PURPOSE:To evaluate the absolute blood flow rate in a single choroidal vessel using Doppler optical coherence tomography (OCT). METHODS:Three choroidal vessels were selected in the right eye of three normal subjects, and were measured with Doppler OCT at a 1020-nm probe wavelength. The pulsatile change of the blood fl...
