  • Systems and methods for obtaining low-angle circumferential optical access to the eye
    Patent number: 9936868
    Abstract: A system for obtaining low-angle circumferential optical access to an eye of a subject. The system includes a light source to generate a beam of light; a beam steering mechanism to steer the beam of light a focusing lens to focus the beam of light; and a contact lens to direct the beam of light into the eye of the subject, the contact lens including a tapered reflective surface to direct the beam of light into the eye of the subject.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 2, 2016
    Date of Patent: April 10, 2018
    Assignee: Duke University
    Inventors: Joseph A. Izatt, Anthony N. Kuo, Ryan P. McNabb

  • Methods, systems and computer program products for distributed scanning for motion artifact reduction in optical coherence tomography
    Patent number: 8403481
    Abstract: Methods of reducing motion artifacts in Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) include scanning a sample with a scan pattern to acquire OCT data at a plurality of data locations. The data locations are distributed in the scan pattern across the sample such that at least some spatially adjacent data locations are acquired non-sequentially in time. A profile of the sample corresponding to a sample surface or an aspect of an internal structure of the sample is estimated responsive the OCT data.
