    摘要: A complex conjugate ambiguity can be resolved in an Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) interferogram. A reference light signal is propagated along a reference path. A sample light signal is impinged on a sample reflector. The reference light signal is frequency shifted with respect to the sample light signal to thereby separate a positive and a negative displacement of a complex conjugate component of the OCT interferogram.

    摘要: Ophthalmic instruments, systems and methods enable tonometry and pachymetry measurements to be conducted simultaneously. As such, a patient's intraocular pressure (IOP) corrected for corneal thickness may be determined accurately by a single corneal applanation. Preferably, the ophthalmic instruments have a reference surface at a distal end of the instrument, an applanation plate spaced from the reference surface, and a compliant mount for mounting the applanation plate for resilient displacements relative to the reference surface. The instrument most preferably has a housing such that the reference surface is located at a fixed position at one end of the housing, and the applanation plate is mounted to that one end of the housing in coaxial spaced alignment relative to the reference surface by means of the compliant mount. If desired, the housing may have a handle and a substantially orthogonal head piece containing suitable optic mirrors which allow visible light to pass therethrough so that the procedure can be viewed and/or photographed.

    摘要: An ultrasound imaging system employs acoustic impedance reconstruction to produce high-resolution images of anatomical structures, which are virtually free of speckle. Determination of the acoustic impedance profile involves prefiltering of the incident ultrasound signal and the ultrasound signal reflected from the specimen to be imaged. A time domain window function is applied to both the incident and reflected signals, and an N-point FFT is computed for both the digitized incident and reflected signals to obtain the incident and reflected spectrums. A complex division of the reflected spectrum by the incident spectrum is performed to obtain the transfer function. A window function having a sharp, low-frequency cutoff is applied to the transfer function prior to performing an inverse FFT to obtain the estimated impulse response. The acoustic impedance of individual A-scans is calculated from the impulse response using the plane wave Born approximation, involving integration and exponentiation of the estimated impulse response. By mechanically or electronically scanning the transducer along a line, a series of A-scan acoustic impedance profiles are calculated and used to produce a two-dimensional, grey-scale B-scan image.

    摘要: Methods, systems and computer program products for generating parameters for software dispersion compensation in optical coherence tomography (OCT) systems are provided. Raw spectral interferogram data is acquired for a given lateral position on a sample and a given reference reflection. A trial spectral phase corresponding to each wavenumber sample of the acquired spectral interferogram data is postulated. The acquired raw spectral data and the postulated trial spectral phase data are assembled into trial complex spectrum data. Trial A-scan data is computed by performing an inverse Fourier transform on the trial complex spectrum data and determining the magnitude of a result.
