摘要:
Systems and methods are provided for performing optical coherence tomography angiography for the rapid generation of en face images. According to one example embodiment, differential interferograms obtained using a spectral domain or swept source optical coherence tomography system are convolved with a Gabor filter, where the Gabor filter is computed according to an estimated surface depth of the tissue surface. The Gabor-convolved differential interferogram is processed to produce an en face image, without requiring the performing of a fast Fourier transform and k-space resampling. In another example embodiment, two interferograms are separately convolved with a Gabor filter, and the amplitudes of the Gabor-convolved interferograms are subtracted to generate a differential Gabor-convolved interferogram amplitude frame, which is then further processed to generate an en face image in the absence of performing a fast Fourier transform and k-space resampling. The example OCTA methods disclosed herein are shown to achieve faster data processing speeds compared to conventional OCTA algorithms.
