Claim 14:
15. A blood flow measurement apparatus comprising:
a scanning optical system including an optical coherence tomography (OCT) scanner configured to scan a fundus of a subject's eye;
a movement mechanism including at least one actuator configured to move the scanning optical system;
processing circuitry configured to construct an image from first data acquired by the scanning optical system;
the processing circuitry further configured to analyze the image to set a first direction orthogonal to an optical axis of the scanning optical system;
a controller circuit configured to apply a first movement control to the movement mechanism to move the scanning optical system in the first direction; and
the processing circuitry is further configured to acquire blood flow information from second data acquired by the scanning optical system after the first movement control.
