ABSTRACT:
A method of performing an OCT image scan is presented. Other images are taken and a template is formed to correct the OCT images, for example, for eye motion, blood vessel placement, and center offset. In some embodiments, video images are taken simultaneously with the OCT images and utilized to correct the OCT images. In some embodiments, a template OCT image is formed prior to acquisition of the OCT images and the template OCT image is utilized as a template from which to correct all of the OCT images.
