Sensor-driven digital motion correction of robotically-aligned optical coherence tomography retinal volumes.
Journal Article Biomed Opt Express · April 1, 2025 Optical coherence tomography (OCT) has revolutionized diagnostics in retinal ophthalmology. Traditional OCT requires minimal relative motion between the subject and scanner, which is difficult to achieve with handheld devices and/or non-stabilized subjects ...
