Abstract
Systems and methods for providing surface contrast to display images for micro-surgical applications are disclosed. According to an aspect, an imaging system includes an OCT apparatus configured to capture OCT data of an eye. The OCT image data can include depth-resolved images of reflected light intensity over a period of time. The imaging system also includes a controller configured to determine movement of the eye relative to the OCT imaging field-of-view. The controller may also determine a location within the imaged portion of the eye which tracks with the eye movement. Further, the controller may apply a color gradient to render OCT images of the eye based on a position relative to the determined location of the eye tracking location. The controller may also control a display to display the OCT images with the applied color gradient.
