Abstract
An optical tomography apparatus has a measurement unit that divides light output from a light source into measurement light and reference light, that repeatedly scans a subject with the measurement light, and that causes a detector to detect interference between reflected light of the measurement light and the reference light, and a processor. The processor performs an acquisition process of are temporally sequentially acquiring tomographic images at the same transverse position in the subject based on a signal output from the detector. The processor performs a video image generation process of generating a synthetic image on a real time basis by synthesizing a new tomographic image frequently and one or more past images, and causing a monitor to display a real time video image formed from the synthetic image.
