Abstract
Various systems and methods for improved OCT angiography imaging are described. An example method of identifying intraretinal fluid in optical coherence tomography (OCT) image data of an eye includes collecting OCT image data using an OCT system. The data includes at least one cluster scan containing OCT image data collected at approximately same set of locations on the sample. A first motion contrast image is generated by applying a first OCT angiography processing technique to the cluster scan to highlight motion contrast in the sample. A second motion contrast image is generated by applying a second OCT angiography processing technique to the cluster scan to highlight motion contrast in the sample. An image displaying intraretinal fluid in the eye is generated using the first and second motion contrast images and then displayed or stored or a further analysis thereof.
