Intraoperative Optical Coherence Tomography for Ophthalmic Surgical Guidance - Cornea
Vanderbilt University Medical Center
Summary
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) image data will be evaluated for image quality and used to test post-processing algorithms to improve detection sensitivity for ophthalmic diseases.
Description
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is an established technology for ophthalmic diagnosis which can perform noncontact, noninvasive, real time, cross-sectional imaging of the retina and anterior eye. OCT has displaced ophthalmoscopy and stereo-photography as the gold-standard for clinical assessment and documentation of retinal microanatomy including thickness, cystoid structures, subretinal fluid and retinal traction. Despite these benefits, new technologies can still benefit patients including increasing the resolution, imaging speed, and contrast of OCT technologies. Since 2013, Dr. Tao's gr…
