Research led by the National Eye Institute in Bethesda shows that incorporating artificial intelligence (AI) into retinal imaging significantly speeds up the imaging process, as well as improving image contrast.
The development of adaptive optics optical coherence tomography (AO-OCT) has allowed more detailed and 3D images of the retina to be taken and used to help diagnosis of a range of different eye diseases.
However, the images taken using AO-OCT have a lot of “noise” that makes it difficult to visualize retinal cells from a single scan as random sections of the image can be obscured. This means as many as 120 images normally need to be taken so an average can be estimated in order to improve image contrast.
