Abstract
The present invention is an OCT imaging system user interface for efficiently providing relevant image displays to the user. These displays are used during image acquisition to align patients and verify acquisition image quality. During image analysis, these displays indicate positional relationships between displayed data images, automatically display suspicious analysis, automatically display diagnostic data, simultaneously display similar data from multiple visits, improve access to archived data, and provide other improvements for efficient data presentation of relevant information.
Claims13
A method of collecting image data of the eye using an optical coherence tomography (OCT) system, said method comprising:
- acquiring a volume of OCT data consisting of multiple B-scans across a transverse area of the eye, wherein one or more B-scans in the volume have a higher resolution than the resolution of the other B-scans in the volume, and wherein the higher resolution B-scans in the volume are collected by reducing the spacing between A-scans in the B-scan as compared to the spacing between A-scans in the lower resolution B-scans of the volume;
- and
- storing or displaying the OCT volume or the higher resolution B-scans.
