  • Method for imaging retinal structures
    Patent number: 10772496
    Abstract: A method for imaging retinal structures involves offsetting an imaging aperture from the center of the reflected/scattered light distribution. Images are obtained with the imaging aperture at multiple offsets with respect to the center. The various obtained images are co-registered to a reference confocal image in a reference wavelength and averaged to generate high signal to noise ratio images. The images may be combined in various ways to enhance the contrast of retinal structures that would not be visible in confocal images.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 8, 2016
    Date of Patent: September 15, 2020
    Assignee: University of Rochester
    Inventor: Ethan Andrew Rossi
  • Method of imaging multiple retinal structures
    Patent number: 10092181
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for imaging multiple retinal structures and montaging of multiple retinal images are provided. The method involves cross-correlating images from different imaging channels to compensate for intra-frame distortion due to retinal movement during image acquisition, and conducting a second cross-correlation to filter out any motion artifacts in the images. The resultant images are combined to generate a composite image. The method also involves controlling light directed on the retina spatially and temporally.
