Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Optical Imaging

Background:

  • In vivo retinal imaging techniques like adaptive optics optical coherence tomography (AO-OCT) are crucial for microscopic retina analysis.
  • Involuntary eye movements, even during fixation, introduce motion artifacts that degrade image quality.
  • Accurate, high-resolution imaging of the retina is essential for diagnosing and monitoring various eye conditions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate dynamic retinal tracking for measuring and correcting eye motion during AO-OCT imaging.
  • To assess the performance of a customized retina tracking module integrated into an AO-OCT system.
  • To quantify the reduction in motion artifacts and improve the precision of in vivo retinal imaging.

Main Methods:

  • Integration of a customized retina tracking module into the sample arm of a 2nd-generation Indiana AO-OCT system.
  • Acquisition of retinal images from three subjects using the enhanced AO-OCT system.
  • Analysis of tracking performance using temporal amplitude and spatial power spectra, along with strip-wise registration.

Main Results:

  • The dynamic retinal tracking system successfully corrected eye movements up to 100 Hz.
  • Residual motion was reduced to 10 µm root mean square, significantly improving image stability.
  • Between-session precision of 33 µm was achieved, demonstrating reliable performance.
  • Tracker-generated noise at high temporal frequencies was identified as a limiting factor.

Conclusions:

  • Dynamic retinal tracking is an effective method for compensating for eye motion in AO-OCT imaging.
  • The developed system enhances the quality and reliability of in vivo microscopic retina imaging.
  • Further optimization is needed to mitigate tracker-generated noise for even higher performance.
