  • Patent number: 9633424
    Abstract: A method and system for acquiring an image of an object using optical coherence tomography using an interferometer and a detector, wherein the object is irradiated with light emitted by the interferometer, light reflected by the object is fed back into the interferometer and detected by the detector, the image of the object is derived from the detected light, and a file containing information, in particular graphical information and/or photographic image information, relating to the object is assigned to and/or correlated with the image of the object.

  • Publication number: 20150226537
    Abstract: A system and method for optical coherence tomography includes an interferometer and a sensor head which emits electromagnetic radiation toward an object to be examined and electromagnetic radiation reflected by the object is fed back into the interferometer; a positioning element configured to position the sensor head relative to the object to be examined and including a support which is provided at the object and on which the sensor head can be placed, a first area that is substantially transmissive to the radiation emitted by the interferometer and reflected by the object, and a second area having a transmittance to the radiation emitted by the interferometer and/or reflected by the object that is different from the transmittance of the first area; an image generator configured to generate one or more images on the basis of the electromagnetic radiation reflected by the object and/or by the positioning element; a display device configured to display the generated images; and a controller configured to contr

  • Publication number: 20140204391
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method as well as a corresponding system (50) for optical coherence tomography, where, by means of an optical coherence tomography equipment, a first image (60) is acquired in the region of a first plane of an object (1) and a second image (61) is acquired in the region of a second plane of the object (1), wherein the second plane of the object (1) is different from the first plane of the object (1). To facilitate a reliable and time-saving examination of the object (1), with the most straightforward handling possible, the first image (60) is acquired in the region of the first plane (S) of the object (1) and the second image (61) is acquired in the region of the second plane (F) of the object (1) in real time, and the first image (60) or the second image (61) is rendered as a real time image and the respectively other image, i.e.
