For OCTA to become a widespread tool in the ophthalmic clinic, the significant increase in acquisition time must be kept at a minimum. Therefore, we developed a new OCTA processing pipeline that enables 4D coherent averaging and leverages from it to improve angiography contrast without using more repetitions.
We first present a new metric for computing angiography contrast that exploits both spatial and time coherence, g1C, which significantly reduce phase noise while using minimal repetitions for averaging. We then show, for the first time, how to perform advanced image registration to correct for motion between repetitions while maintaining phase coherency.
