Methods for processing images generated using fourier domain optical coherence tomography (FDOCT)

摘要

Methods, systems and computer program products for managing frequency domain optical coherence tomography (FDOCT) image resolution. A spectrum used to acquire an image of a subject is calibrated and default dispersion correction parameters are set. Default dispersion management parameters associated with a region of the image of the subject are also set. The image of the subject is acquires after setting the default dispersion correction parameters and the default dispersion management parameters. A quality of the acquired image is compared to a quality metric for the acquired image. The dispersion correction parameters are adjusted if the quality of the acquired image does not meet or exceed the quality metric for the acquired image. The acquired image is reprocesses based on the adjusted dispersion correction parameters. The steps of comparing, adjusting and reprocessing are repeated until the acquired image meets or exceeds the quality metric for the acquired image.

1. A method of managing frequency domain optical coherence tomography (FDOCT) image resolution, comprising:
calibrating a spectrum used to acquire an image of a subject; setting default dispersion correction parameters; setting default dispersion management parameters associated with a region of the image of the subject; acquiring the image of the subject after setting the default dispersion correction parameters and the default dispersion management parameters; comparing a quality of the acquired image to a quality metric for the acquired image; adjusting the dispersion correction parameters if the quality of the acquired image does not meet or exceed the quality metric for the acquired image; reprocessing the acquired image based on the adjusted dispersion correction parameters; and repeating comparing, adjusting and reprocessing until the acquired image meets or exceeds the quality metric for the acquired image.
