In vivo human retinal imaging by Fourier domain optical coherence tomography

J Biomed Opt. 2002 Jul;7(3):457-63. doi: 10.1117/1.1482379.

Abstract

We present what is to our knowledge the first in vivo tomograms of human retina obtained by Fourier domain optical coherence tomography. We would like to show that this technique might be as powerful as other optical coherence tomography techniques in the ophthalmologic imaging field. The method, experimental setup, data processing, and images are discussed.
