Abstract

Data measured by PS-OCT is corrected in a non-linear manner to enhance the quantitative analysis capability of PS-OCT and permit accurate quantitative diagnosis, including diagnosis of disease stage of lesions, as a useful means for computer diagnosis. Even when retardation per PS-OCTcontains error and becomes noise and its distribution is not normal or symmetrical around the true value, measured data is converted using a distribution conversion function obtained by analyzing the characteristics of noise via Monte Carlo simulation to remove the systematic error and estimate the true value otherwise buried in noise and thereby correct the PS-OCTimage more clearly.
