Motion Compensation in Digital Holography for Retinal Imaging

From LRDE

Abstract

The measurement of medical images can be hindered by blur and distortions caused by the physiological motion. Specially for retinal imaging, images are greatly affected by sharp movements of the eye. Stabilization methods have been developed and applied to state-of-the-art retinal imaging modalities; here we intend to adapt them for coherent light detection schemes. In this paper, we demonstrate experimentally cross-correlation-based lateral and axial motion compensation in laser Doppler imaging and optical coherence tomography by digital holography. Our methods improve lateral and axial image resolution in those innovative instruments and allow a better visualization during motion.
