Seeing better with OCT
Light passing through tissue is delayed before it is reflected back to the camera
Measurement of this ‘delay’ provides
cross-sectional information about the structure of the tissue
being imaged
OCT is able to see the intricate and delicate layers of the retina, optic nerve and other ocular tissues (e.g. the RPE).

3D OCT Tips
![Page 8: Reading an OCT image- The Basics - Topcon · 2019. 10. 10. · OCT is able to see the intricate and delicate layers of the retina, optic nerve and other ocular tissues (e.g. the RPE).](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022071608/614638e58f9ff81254202033/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
• Trade off of scanning area vs. image quality
• Typical Pre sets – 8.2 mm x 3 mm @ 1,024 x
32 b scans (better image) – 6 mm x 6 mm box @ 512
x 128 b scans (better coverage)
Scanning Protocol
![Page 9: Reading an OCT image- The Basics - Topcon · 2019. 10. 10. · OCT is able to see the intricate and delicate layers of the retina, optic nerve and other ocular tissues (e.g. the RPE).](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022071608/614638e58f9ff81254202033/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Patient preparation
• Pupil size – Min pupil size is 3.7 mm – Slightly dilated pupils will improve OCT and fundus image
quality
• Dry cornea – A dry cornea will reduce the OCT image quality – Make sure that your technicians tell the patient to blink
before the capture procedure – Use drops if needed
• Fixation
