Description:
Retinal topography is affected by pathology such as drusen and tumors, and it may be useful to determine topography with fundus imaging when three-dimensional imaging is not available. In this talk, I will present a novel method of retinal topography scanning using the stripe projection technology of the CLARUSTM 700 (ZEISS, Dublin, CA) wide-field fundus camera. The camera projects stripes onto the retina and records images of the returned light while maintaining a small angle between illumination and imaging. We make use of this structured illumination, analyzing neighboring stripes to determine depth -i.e. the retinal topography – from both relative defocus and stripe displacements. The resulting topography maps are finally compared to three-dimensional data from optical coherence tomography imaging.
