Intraoperative imaging system and apparatus

摘要

Systems, methods and apparatuses for an intraocular imaging system are disclosed comprising an optical coherence tomography (OCT) system. The OCT system has an imaging range that may enable substantial portions of an eye or even a whole eye to be imaged. The OCT system may be coupled to an operation microscope, such that, for example, a surgeon can visualize ocular structures like the human crystalline lens and other ocular structures such as the cornea and/or vitreous while surgical instruments are in the field of view.

主权项

1. An intraocular imaging method comprising:
receiving image data representing image information of an ocular system from a plurality of images having a corresponding plurality of depth ranges, wherein at least two of the plurality of depth ranges overlap; identifying a portion of at least one image that overlaps with a portion of at least one other image; cropping said portion of at least one image; and generating a composite image from the remainder of the plurality of images; wherein at least one of the plurality of images is a subsurface image; and wherein generating a composite image comprises forming from the image data a single image for the overlapping portion of the depth ranges.
