Abstract:
1. A method of displaying 3-D image data of an eye of a patient acquired with an optical coherence tomography (OCT) system, said system including a radiation beam that is scanned in X and Y directions over the eye and generating a 3-D data set corresponding to the distribution of reflection sites within the eye, said method comprising: identifying a reference surface within the eye from the 3-D data set; dividing the data into multiple sections ranging from the reference surface along a Z axis roughly perpendicular to one of the X and Y scanning directions or the reference surface; for each section, assigning a single intensity value at each of a plurality of X and Y positions representative of the data along the Z-axis; generating a 2-D image of the single representative values for each section; and displaying the generated 2-D images sequentially.
