Abstract
Digital refocusing of optical coherence tomography (OCT) restores the spatial resolution degraded by defocusing. To apply this to imaging of biological tissue with point-scan Fourier domain OCT (FD-OCT), fast volume acquisition is needed to prevent motion disturbance. This study demonstrates the Lissajous-cycle-wise (LCW) digital refocusing algorithm applied to in vivo imaging at acquisition rates typical of FD-OCT. Blurring along and perpendicular to the scanning direction are compensated by inverse filtering and compositing A-lines of different scanning directions after motion correction, respectively. Ex vivo and in vivo biological sample experiments are applied for the proof of concept. The blurred images due to defocusing are sharpened by the LCW digital refocus algorithm.
