Hyperspectral optical coherence tomography: a tool for in vivo visualization of melanin in the retinal pigment epithelium

摘要

A post-processing pipeline was created for white light optical coherence tomography,resulting in depth-resolved hyperspectral imaging. This method was tested on both melaninphantoms and in the RPE of rodent eyes, showing that due to its granular nature, melanin can bedetected in this manner.
