Ocular melanoma imaging study using polarization-diversity optical coherence tomography

Polarization-diversity (PD) OCT selectively visualizes melanin. Adaptive kernel-based degree of polarization uniformity (DOPU) improves segmentation of choroidal tumors for investigation and characterization. We present PD-OCT on human eyes in a clinical setting, comparing lesion images against standard techniques; fundus, OCT, and autofluorescence (AF). © 2022 Destiny Hsu.
