Abstract

Phase variance-based motion contrast imaging is demonstrated using a spectral domain optical coherence tomography system for the in vivo human retina. This contrast technique spatially identifies locations of motion within the retina primarily associated with vasculature. Histogram-based noise analysis of the motion contrast images was used to reduce the motion noise created by transverse eye motion. En face summation images created from the 3D motion contrast data are presented with segmentation of selected retinal layers to provide non-invasive vascular visualization comparable to currently used invasive angiographic imaging. This motion contrast technique has demonstrated the ability to visualize resolution-limited vasculature independent of vessel orientation and flow velocity.

Example images from selected stages in the motion contrast data processing for OCT data acquired across 1 mm of retina. Initial acquired OCT data presents in the form of a series of (a) intensity and (b) phase images. (c) Averaged intensity image created from 10 sequential B-scans. Phase changes calculated from two sequential B-scans (d) before and (e) after bulk motion removal. (f) Phase variance image calculated from 10 sequential B-scan phase images, with thresholds applied based on the average intensity image.
