Abstract: The present invention reduces a positional displacement of an acquired image attributable to a delay from the issuance of a drive instruction to a scanner to the scanner actually reaching an instructed drive position. An ophthalmologic apparatus has a light scanning unit which scans measuring light on an eve to be examined, an acquisition unit which receives light reflected from the eye to be examined and acquires a light receiving signal, and an instruction unit which instructs the drive position of the light scanning unit. The apparatus further includes a position detection unit which detects the current position of the light scanning unit and a measurement unit which measures the drive time delay from the issuance of an instruction by the instruction until the current position reaches the instructed drive position. The acquisition unit starts acquiring the light receiving signal at timing based on the drive time delay.

Abstract: For appropriately obtaining the tomographic image and the layer thickness map are provided in a short period of time regardless of involuntary eye movement, when the tomographic image is to be obtained in a specific scan pattern, a 3D tomographic image is first obtained by 3D scan, and then a tomographic image of a desired part is extracted from the image in accordance with the specific scan pattern. Further, based on the obtained 3D tomographic image, a sector for layer thickness map display, a main scanning line, and a sub-scanning line, which are displayed on a fundus image, are set movable, and tomographic images taken along both the scanning lines after the movement are obtained. The sector having a center corresponding to the intersection between those scanning lines and the layer thickness map are recalculated and displayed so as to follow the intersection.

Abstract: An OCT apparatus that photographs with a plurality of measuring beams concurrently, has a mechanism for adjusting the optical path length of a reference beam for each measuring beam. Accordingly, when tomographic images photographed in this manner are displayed side by side, because the depth of photographing varies from one tomographic image to another, it is difficult for an operator to comprehend the positional relation between the photographed images. In displaying tomographic images acquired with a plurality of measuring beams, the display position of each tomographic image is adjusted based on the changed optical path length of a reference beam of the measuring beam used for the image. The tomographic images are thus aligned in height and are presented in a manner that is easy for the operator to comprehend the positional relation between the photographed images.
