Intensity Inhomogeneity Correction of SD-OCT Data Using Macular Flatspace

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a widely used modality for imaging the retina as it is non-invasive, non-ionizing, provides three-dimensional data, and can be rapidly acquired  (Hee et al., 1995). It uses near-infrared light to measure the reflectivity of the retina, producing a clear image of the retinal structure and the cellular layers comprising it. OCT improves upon traditional 2D en-face plane photography by providing depth information, which enables measurements of layer thicknesses that are known to change with certain diseases (Medeiros et al., 2009; Saidha et al., 2011).
