Abstract

A method and system for correction of decorrelation tail artifacts in optical coherence tomography (OCT) angiography volumetric data defines a movable target subvolume within the OCT-A volumetric data. The target subvolume is axially moveable within the OCT-A volumetric data in discrete axial steps. At each axial step, a reference subvolume corresponding to a depth location in the OCT A volumetric data is defined axially offset from the target subvolume. The reference subvolume may be defined within the OCT A volumetric data, or defined within a different (previously corrected) OCT-A volume. Irrespective, corrected OCT-A data that corrects for decorrelation tail artifacts in the target subvolume is defined using information in the reference subvolume and information in the target subvolume.
