    摘要: One embodiment of the present invention accounts for individual anatomical variation when evaluating optical nerve fiber measurements. In one aspect, contextual information is used to compensate or correct measurement data. In another aspect, reference coordinates are remapped for improved comparison or visualization. In one embodiment of this latter aspect, the method uses measurements of nerve fiber capacity and maps of nerve fiber retinal service to improve sensitivity and specificity in eye function metrics. In one instance, we use the birefringence of nerve fibers to determine the orientation of the fibers within the RNFL. Orientation of the fibers about the ONH is indicative of the service provided by the fibers and is used to improve the interpretation of thickness measurements of the nerve fiber layer. Normalized nerve fiber measurements about the optic nerve head improve specificity and sensitivity as compared to the standard model. These improvements are a result of partitioning the normative database or modifying the measurement data prior to comparison. Statistics on normalized measurements of nerve fiber bundles also show improvements in specificity and sensitivity.

    摘要: Systems, methods and applications for adjusting the imaging depth of a Fourier Domain optical coherence tomography system without impacting the axial resolution of the system are presented. One embodiment of the invention involves changing the sweep rate of a swept-source OCT system while maintaining the same data acquisition rate and spectral bandwidth of the source. Another embodiment involves changing the data acquisition rate of a SS-OCT system while maintaining the same sweep rate over the same spectral bandwidth. Several applications of variable imaging depth in the field of ophthalmic imaging are described.

    摘要: In an imaging method, estimated data is iteratively projected and backprojected. The iterative projecting and backprojecting includes projecting or backprojecting the estimated data along parallel paths each employing energy-dependent parameters appropriate for a different energy. During each iteration, the estimated data is adjusted based on comparison of the estimated data with measured data.

    摘要: An imaging system (10) comprises at least one radiation detector (20) disposed adjacent a subject receiving aperture (18) to detect radiation from a subject, receive the radiation and generate measured data.

    摘要: A gamma camera system and method are described which use multiple point sources to detect inaccuracies in detector translational and rotational alignment. In practice of the method of the preferred embodiment, three capillary tubes, each containing a drop of an isotope, are located in different planes and locations with respect to the axis of rotation of the detectors. A SPECT acquisition is performed and the point source projection data is processed to calculate the point source coordinates, from which center-of-rotation correction factors may be calculated. These correction factors are applied by mechanical and software adjustments to the gantry and acquisition systems of the camera to correct for both translational and rotational inaccuracies.
