Abstract
Aspects of the present invention relate to a method of detecting clipping of retinal image content in an optical coherence tomography, OCT, image of a patient's retina. The method comprises detecting a boundary of the retinal image content in the OCT image and calculating a distance between the boundary and an edge of the OCT image. The method further comprises determining if clipping of the retinal image content in the OCT image has occurred by comparing the calculated distance between the boundary and the edge of the OCT image with a clipping threshold distance. Clipping of the retinal image content is determined to have occurred when the calculated distance between the boundary and the edge of the OCT image is equal to, or less than, the clipping threshold distance.
