Abstract
Non-invasive functional retinal imaging in humans is of tremendous interest. By using phase-sensitive full-field swept-source OCT (FF-SS-OCT) we demonstrated simultaneous quantitative imaging of the optical activation in the photoreceptor and ganglion/inner plexiform layer. Since the signals from the ganglion cells layer are ten-fold smaller than those from the photoreceptor cells a new algorithms for suppression of motion artifacts and pulsatile blood flow in the retinal vessels is important. With improved data evaluation we simultaneously measured the activation of photoreceptors and ganglion/inner plexiform with high quality and were able to analyze the spatial and temporal response of cells in the ganglion/inner plexiform over more than 10 seconds.
