Abstract:
1. An optical coherence tomography imaging apparatus that acquires a tomographic image from interference light between a reference beam and a measuring beam obtained via an object, the optical coherence tomography imaging apparatus comprising: an acquisition unit configured to acquire information indicating an imaging target region; a control unit configured to control to set a first difference in optical path length between the reference beam and the measuring beam and adjust the first difference in optical path length at first intervals when the information indicates a first imaging target region, and to set a second difference in optical path length between the reference beam and the measuring beam and adjust the second difference in optical path length at second intervals smaller than the first intervals when the information indicates a second imaging target region; and a signal processing unit configured to generate image data of the object based on an electrical signal obtained by detecting the interference light with the difference in optical path length controlled by the control unit.
