Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Provided is a method for easily improving image quality in an optical tomographic imaging apparatus. An optical tomographic image generation method of generating a tomographic image of an object includes: acquiring a signal; performing Fourier transform; and obtaining the tomographic image. The optical tomographic image generation method further includes one of the steps of combining a plurality of the signals acquired within a predetermined time and combining a plurality of the signals acquired within a predetermined time after performed the Fourier transform thereon.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. An optical tomographic image generation method of generating at least one two-dimensional tomographic image of an eye based on a plurality of intensity signals of a plurality of lines of a combined light of (a) a return light from the eye to which a measurement light has been applied and (b) a reference light that corresponds to the measurement light, the optical tomographic image generation method comprising the steps of: acquiring the plurality of intensit…
