Abstract: A system and/or method uses a trained U-Net neural network to remove flow artifacts from optical coherence tomography (OCT) angiography (OCTA) data. The trained U-Net receives as input both OCT structural volume data and OCTA volume data, but expands the OCTA volume data to include depth information. The U-Net applies dynamic pooling along the depth direction and weighs more heavily the portion of the data that follows (e.g., along the contours of) select retinal layers. In this manner the U-Net applies contextually different computations at different axial locations based at least in part on the depth index information and/or (e.g., proximity to) the select retinal layers. The U-net outputs OCT volume data of reduced flow artifacts as compared with the input OCTA data.

Abstract: A scan imaging system has a scanning component that receives light from a light source, and creates a scanning beam that is directed by an optic train to a sample to be imaged. A camera captures light returning from the sample to construct an image. Reflexes on a target lens within the optic train are prevented by one or more light blocks. A first light block, imaged to the target lens, is positioned in alight path from the light source to the scanning component to create a first moving dark zone on the target lens through which the scanning beam from the scanning component to the sample may not pass. A second light block, also imaged to the target lens, is positioned in alight path from the sample to the collector to create a second moving dark zone on the target lens through which light returning from the sample may not pass. The moving dark zones maintain the scanning beam separate from the returning light on the target lens.
