RESUMO

Point scanning retinal imaging modalities, including confocal scanning light ophthalmoscopy (cSLO) and optical coherence tomography, suffer from fixational motion artifacts. Fixation targets, though effective at reducing eye motion, are infeasible in some applications (e.g., handheld devices) due to their bulk and complexity. Here, we report on a cSLO device that scans the retina in a spiral pattern under pseudo-visible illumination, thus collecting image data while simultaneously projecting, into the subject's vision, the image of a bullseye, which acts as a virtual fixation target. An imaging study of 14 young adult volunteers was conducted to compare the fixational performance of this technique to that of raster scanning, with and without a discrete inline fixation target. Image registration was used to quantify subject eye motion; a strip-wise registration method was used for raster scans, and a novel, to the best of our knowledge, ring-based method was used for spiral scans. Results indicate a statistically significant reduction in eye motion by the use of spiral scanning as compared to raster scanning without a fixation target.

RESUMO

High-speed, accessible, and robust in vivo imaging of the human retina is critical for screening of retinal pathologies, such as diabetic retinopathy, age-related macular degeneration, and others. Scanning light ophthalmoscopy (SLO) is a retinal imaging modality that produces digital, en face images of the human retina with superior image gradability rates when compared to the current standard of care in screening for these diseases, namely the flood-illumination handheld fundus camera (HFC). However, current-generation commercial SLO systems are mostly tabletop devices, limiting their accessibility and utility in screening applications. Moreover, most existing SLO systems use raster scan patterns, which are both inefficient and lead to undesired subject gaze drift when used with visible or pseudo-visible illumination. Non-raster scan patterns, especially spiral scanning as described herein, promise advantages in both scan efficiency and reduced subject eye motion. In this work, we introduce a novel "hybrid spiral" scan pattern and the associated hardware design and real-time image reconstruction techniques necessary for its implementation in an SLO system. Building upon this core hybrid spiral scanning SLO (HSS-SLO) technology, we go on to present a complete handheld HSS-SLO system, featuring a fiber-coupled portable patient interface which leverages a dual-clad fiber (DCF) to form a single-path optical topology, thus ensuring mechanically robust co-alignment of illumination and collection apertures, a necessity for a handheld system. The feasibility of HSS-SLO for handheld, in vivo imaging is demonstrated by imaging eight human volunteers.
