COMPRESSED SENSING ENABLED SWEPT SOURCE OPTICAL COHERENCE TOMOGRAPHY APPARATUS, COMPUTER-ACCESSIBLE MEDIUM, SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR USE THEREOF

摘要

An exemplary system, method and computer-accessible medium for compressing data that can be based on an optical coherence tomography (OCT) signal can be provided, which can include, for example, receiving OCT data from a digital acquisition board that can be based on the OCT signal, storing the OCT data in a volatile memory, and compressing the stored OCT data using a compressed sensing procedure. The compressed sensing procedure can be based on a software mask residing on the computer hardware arrangement. The stored OCT data can be compressed using the software mask to mask particular portions of the stored OCT data. The compressed OCT data can be stored in a non-volatile data storage arrangement. The OCT signal can be an OCT calibration signal.
