摘要:
The present invention relates to a method of processing acquired ophthalmic image data comprising: providing an imaging signal produced by a imaging device, the imaging signal having a center wavelength of at least 1μm or being a polarization-sensitive optical coherence tomography (PS-OCT) signal; detecting intensities of the imaging signal as the imaging signal is backscattered by each of a plurality of tissue layers in a subject's eye for a plurality of axial scans; determining a ratio of the intensities of the backscattered imaging signals for each of the plurality of axial scans, the ratio being the intensity of a first portion of the backscattered imaging signal with respect to the intensity of a second portion of the backscattered imaging; identifying areas of the subject's eye based at least in part on the determined ratio.
摘要:
Geographic atrophy of the eye can be detected and measured by imaging the eye at a depth greater than the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) at a plurality of locations of the eye, for example, using optical coherence tomography (OCT); determining a ratio of the intensities of imaging signals of a retinal layer(s) with respect to the intensity of imaging signals of a sub-RPE layer(s) at each location; determining representative values based at least in part on the determined ratios; generating a map of the representative values; and identifying diseased areas from the map. Contours and binary maps may be generated based on the identified diseased areas. The size and shape of the identified areas may be analyzed and monitored over a period of time.

摘要:
Methods and systems for angiographic imaging with optical coherence tomography (OCT) are described using ratio-based and angiographic deviation based calculations. In using these calculations to determine motion, arbitrary interframe permutations may be used, post-calculated, non-linear results for projection visualization may be averaged, poor matches may be eliminated on an A-line by A-line basis, windowing functions may be used to improve results, partial spectrums may be used when capturing data, and a minimum intensity threshold may be used for determining which pixels to use.
