Computed Tomography

Computed Tomography

Tomography refers to imaging by sections. Computed tomography (CT) is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses computers to analyze several cross-sectional X-rays to reveal minute details about structures in the body.
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...

Background:

Accurate registration of optical coherence tomography (OCT) scans is crucial for high-resolution retinal imaging and longitudinal studies.
Existing OCT systems may face limitations in tracking bandwidth and integration of tracking hardware, impacting image quality and study precision.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and validate an upgraded OCT system with an integrated retinal tracker (TOCT) for enhanced imaging performance.
To demonstrate the system's capability for advanced scan sequences and precise re-registration over multiple imaging sessions.

Main Methods:

Development of an upgraded OCT system with enhanced components for extended tracking bandwidth.
Full integration of retinal tracking hardware into the clinical OCT system's optical head.
Operation from a single software platform enabling advanced scan sequences like composite, en face, and 3D retinal mapping.

Main Results:

Achieved transverse scan registration with sub-pixel accuracy (~10 microm).
Generated composite OCT scans with improved spatial resolution, signal-to-noise ratio, and reduced speckle.
Demonstrated high-fidelity image registration for longitudinal studies and advanced 3D data cube generation.

Conclusions:

The upgraded TOCT system provides highly accurate OCT scan registration, leading to superior image quality compared to single scans.
The system's precise re-registration capabilities are valuable for longitudinal OCT studies.
Advanced scan sequences and 3D data generation reveal the system's utility in detailed retinal analysis.
