Optical coherence tomography for quantitative surface topography

Abstract: We address the measurement and correction of fan distortion in optical coherence tomography (OCT). This effect arises from the scanning system configuration and prevents one, in general, from obtaining quantitative topographic data from OCT. Computer simulations allowed us to quantify the effect and evaluate its dependence on the scanning mirror separation and design of the collimating lens, as well as to estimate the optimal axial position of that lens to minimize the fan distortion. We also developed a numer… Show more

“…In previous works we have reported 3-D anterior segment biometry in human eyes in vivo, including anterior and posterior corneal and lenticular surface elevation maps [12][13][14][15][16][17], interocular distances along well identified axes [18] and full crystalline lens, beyond the margins of the pupil [19]. Quantitative analysis is possible by correction of distortions (fan, arising from the scanning architecture; optical, due to the refraction in the optical surfaces) and new automatic image processing algorithms that have allowed quantification.…”

“…We have presented recently a quantitative 3-D OCT system which allows profilometry of the ocular surfaces of the eye [36,37]. This technique was used for measurements of corneal elevation maps in vivo [38], biometry and lens alignment [39], dynamic measurement of crystalline lens radii of curvature with accommodation [20] and crystalline lens surfaces elevation maps in vivo [40].…”

“…For example, the radial scan from the MEMS mirror can cause various distortions in OCT images, since an OCT interferogram is encoded with optical path length difference, potentially causing flat surfaces to appear curved. Conventionally, this type of distortion was corrected using algorithms based on a point-to-point method [47,48], which can consume substantial computing resources. In reference [49], the authors discuss a new method that directly manipulates the original spectral interferograms in the phase domain to correct the spherical distortion.…”
