OCT’s high resolution tomographic images. It integrats SLO’s confocal imaging principles with Scanner device providing high-resolution, high-definition The Spectral OCT/SLO is a computerized optical (Toronto, Canada) to develop the Spectral This rationale was used by OTI technologies Integrating a scanning laser ophthalmoscopy To localize and visually interpret the images, Limitation of OCT technology was difficulty inĪccurately localizing the cross-sectional imagesĪnd correlating them with a conventional en face FD-OCT is also fast enough for sequential imageįrames to track the pulsation of blood vessels during TD-OCT, in which signals from various depths are The simultaneous detection of reflections from aīroad range of depths is much more efficient than Required thus, FD-OCT can be much faster than No physical scanning of the reference mirror is Produced by interference between the sample and The spectrometer measures spectral modulations Interferometer uses a spectrometer instead a single In FD-OCT ,the detector arm of the Michelson Time delay of the reference light pulse is adjusted Position of the reference mirror is changed so that the In order to measure the time delays of light echoesĬoming from different structures within the eye, the Rotation of a sample arm galvonometer mirror. Transverse scanning of the sample is achieved via Inversely proportional to its optical bandwidth. The axial optical sectioning ability of the technique is Wave and the backscattered sample wave is then recorded. The interference signal between the reflected reference The Michelson interferometer splits the light from theīroadband source into two paths, the reference and

Variations in the refractive index within tissue. Heterogeneous medium, and occurs because of Scattering is a fundamental property of a The first commercial instrument, OCT 1,was launched Topographic image of the retinal pigment epithelium In 1990, Fercher presented cross-sectional OCT is noncontact noninvasive technique for imaging Principles of optical coherence tomography
