Abstract
There is provided a method of processing image data defining a fundus image of a retina to include supplementary information on a designated feature in the fundus image, comprising: designating (S) a feature in the fundus image; receiving (S) OCT data of a C-scan of the retina; selecting (S) a subset of the OCT data representing a volumetric image of a part of the retina at a location on the retina corresponding to a location of the designated feature in the fundus image; processing (S) the selected subset to generate, as the supplementary information, supplementary image data indicative of a variation, along a depth direction of the retina, of a measured reflectance of the eye in the selected subset; and combining (S) the image data with the supplementary image data, such that an image defined by the combined data provides an indication of the variation at the designated feature.
