Abstract

Applying novel detector development based on CMOS technology to Fourier domain optical coherence tomography we achieve depth profile rates up to 200,000 scans/sec. This speed allows for dramatic improvement for imaging small retinal details, such as photo-receptors and capillaries. We demonstrate the impact of this achievable speed to Doppler tomography and discuss advantages as well as short-comings of high speed 3D Doppler imaging of the human retina. Experimental data of 3D static D-FDOCT sets from fovea and nerve head region are shown together with first 4D imaging of retinal capillary flow.

(A, (View 1), D, (View 2), G, (View 3), J) Volumes saved in the png file format containing D-FDOCT tomograms in the RGB channel and intensity tomograms in the α-channel. The volumes were recorded at line rates of 20kHz(A and J), 60kHz(D) and 100kHz(G). (B, E, H, K) corresponding en-face cross-section at a significant position. (C, F, I, L) corresponding fast axis cross-sections (B-scan) at significant positions. (J, K, L) demonstrate the possibility of a different color map on a 3D dataset acquired at a line rate of 20kHz. Dashed arrows in (B, E, H, K) show vessels with high flow speeds and large inclination. Solid arrows in (B, E, H, K) show vessels with lower flow speeds and almost perpendicular orientation to the detection axis.
