Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Systems and methods for efficiently displaying large volumes of medical imaging data using pre-defined dynamic displays to illustrate key anatomic features are described. In a preferred embodiment, one or more pulse files comprising en face images of sub sections of the volume are displayed sequentially to the user in a playback loop. These displays can aid in navigation of data for review and future data acquisition. Additional images generated from the data can be displayed next to or overlaid on the pulse files.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method of displaying 3-D image data of an eye of a patient acquired with an optical coherence tomography (OCT) system, said system including a radiation beam that is scanned in X and Y directions over the eye and generating a 3-D data set corresponding to the distribution of reflection sites within the eye, said method comprising: identifying a reference surface within the eye from the 3-D data set; dividing the data into multiple sections ranging from t…
