Abstract
An optical coherence tomography imaging apparatus that acquires a tomographic image from interference light between a reference beam and a measuring beam obtained via an object includes a control unit configured to control a difference in optical path length between the reference beam and the measuring beam by a control method according to an imaging target region, and a signal processing unit configured to generate image data of the object based on an electrical signal obtained by detecting the interference light with the difference in optical path length controlled by the control method.
