Adaptive Optics for Optical Coherence Tomography

Adaptive Optics Optical Coherence Tomography for in Vivo Retinal Imaging

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a non-invasive micrometer-resolution volumetric imaging modality that has been employed in diverse applications. In this thesis, we first describe a GPU accelerated program to perform FDOCT data processing and real time 3D volumetric rendering. The real time visualization of volumetric images provided by the GPU acceleration was essential to the rest of the...

Towards model-based adaptive optics optical coherence tomography.

The transfer function for optical wavefront aberrations in single-mode fiber based optical coherence tomography is determined. The loss in measured OCT signal due to optical wavefront aberrations is quantified using Fresnel propagation and the calculation of overlap integrals. A distinction is made between a model for a mirror and a scattering medium model. The model predictions are validated w...

Multi-modal adaptive optics system including fundus photography and optical coherence tomography for the clinical setting

We present a new compact multi-modal imaging prototype that combines an adaptive optics (AO) fundus camera with AO-optical coherence tomography (OCT) in a single instrument. The prototype allows acquiring AO fundus images with a field of view of 4°x4° and with a frame rate of 10fps. The exposure time of a single image is 10 ms. The short exposure time results in nearly motion artifact-free high...
