FUNDUS OBSERVATION APPARATUS AND FUNDUS IMAGE ANALYZING APPARATUS

摘要

In a fundus observation apparatus, an optical system detects interference light generated by superposing signal light having traveled by way of an eye fundus and reference light having traveled by way of a reference optical path. An image forming part forms a cross sectional image based on detection results of the interference light. A specifying part analyzes the cross sectional image to specify an abnormal region located in the vicinity of central fovea of the eye fundus. The association information generating part calculates the distance between the central fovea and the abnormal region and generates association information in which the direction of the abnormal region relative to the central fovea and the distance are associated with each other. The evaluation information generating part generates evaluation information for evaluating the state of the eye fundus based on the association information.

主权项

1. A fundus observation apparatus, comprising:
an optical system configured to divide light from a light source into signal light and reference light, generate interference light by superposing the signal light having traveled by way of an eye fundus and the reference light having traveled by way of a reference optical path, and detect the interference light; an image forming part configured to form a cross sectional image of the eye fundus based on detection results of the interference light; a specifying part configured to analyze the cross sectional image to specify an abnormal region located in the vicinity of central fovea of the eye fundus; an association information generating part configured to calculate the distance between the central fovea and the abnormal region and generate association information in which the direction of the abnormal region relative to the central fovea and the distance are associated with each other; and an evaluation information generating part configured to generate evaluation information for evaluating the state of the eye fundus based on the association information.
