Abstract
A computer-implemented method of imaging an object, and an optical coherent tomography (OCT) imaging system implementing same. The method comprises acquiring a three-dimensional optical coherence tomography (OCT) data set representing an object, wherein the OCT data set includes at least a first and a second three-dimensional data subsets, each element of the OCT data set having a respective sampling period, wherein at least a first element of the first data subset represents a point in space that is not represented by any element of the second subset, and at least one element of the second subset has a sampling period different from the sampling period of the first element of the first subset; processing at least the first and the second data subsets according to at least one imaging modality, thereby generating at least a first and a second processed data subsets, each processed data subset representing the object; and generating a composite image representing the object based on at least the first and the second processed data subsets.
