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.
摘要:
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) scan data of a subject is acquired over a region of interest which can include an optic disc or a macula of a retina. Layer boundaries of retinal layers are identified in the OCT scan data to facilitate measurements. In one aspect, a measurement related to ratio value between a total backscattered signal intensity of one or more target layers of the retina and a total backscattered signal intensity of one or more reference layers is computed on a location-by-location basis within a region of interest of the OCT scan data. Measurements can be collected, aggregated, analyzed, and displayed in connection with other information taken or derived from the OCT scan data.
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:
Based on optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging of a portion of an eye, a mask of an anatomical feature is derived. Using the mask as a reference, a scan path is determined that is at least partially fitted to and/or partially enclosing the mask. OCT scan data corresponding to the scan path is acquired and analyzed to detect optic neuropathies.

摘要:
Methods for generating optical coherence tomography intensity maps are provided. A beam of light is generated and divided along a sample path and a reference path. The sample path beam of light is directed to locations in an X-Y plane. Light returned from each of the sample path and the reference path is received. Sets of outputs are generated, each corresponding to light intensities received at different wavelengths of the light source when the beam of light is directed at a particular X-Y plane location, the light intensities including information about a light reflectance distribution within an object in a depth direction Z at the particular X-Y plane location. A set of outputs generated from directing the beam of light at a particular X-Y plane location is high-pass filtered to generate a set of filtered outputs suitable for generating a two-dimensional image intensity map of the object.
