Abstract:
Systems and methods for enhancing quality of a flow image of a sample of a subject are provided. The method comprises acquiring a first flow image from a plurality of first OMAG scans of the sample, and acquiring a structure image from a second OMAG scan of the sample. Data based on pixel intensity values from the flow image and pixel intensity values from the structure image are then plotted onto a graph and from the graph, may be differentiated into a first data group representing static structure signals and a second data group representing flow signals. The method then includes suppressing pixels in the flow image corresponding to the first data group. The flow signal may also be multiplied by a weighting factor to suppress artifacts in the image.
