چکیده

We demonstrate an optical coherence tomography device that simultaneously combines different novel ultrabroad bandwidth light sources centered in the 800 and 1060 nm regions, operating at 66 kHz depth scan rate, and a confocal laser scanning ophthalmoscope-based eye tracker to permit motion-artifact-free, ultrahigh resolution and high contrast retinal and choroidal imaging. The two wavelengths of the device provide the complementary information needed for diagnosis of subtle retinal changes, while also increasing visibility of deeper-lying layers to image pathologies that include opaque media in the anterior eye segment or eyes with increased choroidal thickness.

Choroidal Imaging with Swept Source Optical Coherence Tomography – A Review

The choroid provides up to 70 % of blood and oxygen to the eye. Pathological changes of this vascular tissue may lead to malnutrition of the retina and therefore be involved in the pathogenesis of numerous retinal disorders. Swept source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) is a new development of a non-invasive imaging technique that uses a tunable laser source with a higher wavelength light ...

Comparison of Choroidal Thickness in Psoriasis and Control Groups Using Optical Coherence Tomography

Background and Objective: One of the most common extracutaneous complications in psoriasis patients is ocular complications, which is controversial concerning its effect on choroidal thickness. This study aimed to compare the psoriasis patients with healthy individuals in terms of the thickness of the choroidal layer using the optical coherence tomography technique. Materials and Methods: In t...

Enhanced visualization of choroidal vessels using ultrahigh resolution ophthalmic OCT at 1050 nm.

In this article the ability of ultrahigh resolution ophthalmic optical coherence tomography (OCT) to image small choroidal blood vessels below the highly reflective and absorbing retinal pigment epithelium is demonstrated for the first time. A new light source (lambdac= 1050 nm, Deltalambda = 165 nm, Pout= 10 mW), based on a photonic crystal fiber pumped by a compact, self-starting Ti:Al2O3 las...

Enhanced imaging of choroidal vasculature by high-penetration and dual-velocity optical coherence angiography

Dual-beam-scan Doppler optical coherence angiography (DB-OCA) with a 1-μm-wavelength probe is demonstrated for improved in vivo choroidal angiograms of the human eye. This method utilizes two scanning beams with spatial and temporal separation on the retina, and provides two measurable velocity ranges. The method achieves higher sensitivity to very low velocity flows than conventional Doppler o...
