  • Publication number: 20220322932
    Abstract: An OCT device includes an OCT optical system and a controller that also serves as an image processor. The controller acquires the OCT data of the fundus by processing the spectral interference signal output from the OCT optical system. In addition, the controller adjusts the position of the high accuracy region, which is the depth region where relatively high accuracy OCT data is obtained, by controlling the OCT optical system in accordance with the curvature level of the fundus image in the photographing range of the OCT data. This makes it possible to acquire good OCT data regardless of the curvature level of the fundus.

  • Publication number: 20200140698
    Abstract: Provided is a heat-ray shielding particle dispersion which contains: ITO particles having a heat-ray shielding capability; a solvent containing 60% by mass or more of water; and a dispersant. The ITO particles have a BET specific surface area of 20 m2/g or more, have a blue or dark blue tone represented by an L value of 50 or less and a<0 and b<0 in the Lab color system, and are contained in an amount of 1-90% by mass with respect to 100% by mass of the dispersion. The solvent is a component obtained by removing the heating residue from the heat-ray shielding particle dispersion, and is contained in an amount of 6.1-99.0% by mass with respect to 100% by mass of the dispersion. The dispersant is at least one kind among a phosphate ester-based dispersant, a polyglycerin-based dispersant, a polyvinylpyrrolidone-based dispersant, a polyoxyethylene-polyoxypropylene condensate-based dispersant, and a polyacrylate-based dispersant.

  • Patent number: 10492682
    Abstract: An ophthalmic analysis device for analyzing OCT motion contrast data including blood vessel information of a subject eye acquired by an ophthalmic OCT, includes: a processor; and memory storing computer readable program, when executed by the processor, causing the ophthalmic analysis device to execute: an analysis process of analyzing the OCT motion contrast data to acquire a measurement result related to a capillary area of the subject eye. The analysis process executes an alleviating process for alleviating the influence of great blood vessels having blood vessel diameters larger than those of capillaries on the measurement result to acquire the measurement result related to the capillary area.
