Abstract
Various methods for the detection and enhanced visualization of a particular structure or pathology of interest in a human eye are discussed in the present disclosure. An example method to visualize a given pathology (e.g., CNV) in an eye includes collecting optical coherence tomography (OCT) image data of the eye from an OCT system. The OCT image data is segmented to identify two or more retinal layer boundaries located in the eye. The two or more retinal layer boundaries are located at different depth locations in the eye. One of the identified layer boundaries is moved and reshaped to optimize visualization of the pathology located between the identified layer boundaries. The optimized visualization is displayed or stored or for a further analysis thereof.
