About UC Davis

UC Davis

University of California at Davis  is a public university located in the city of Davis, California and is one of the ten campuses of the University of California. Vision Science and Advanced Retinal Imaging Laboratory is at the University of California, Davis and is concerned with understanding the functional and structural basis of early stage mechanisms of human vision. Center for Biophotonics, Science and Technology at The University of California at Davis.  The Center for Biophotonics, Science and Technology (CBST) was conceived in response to the NRC recommendations. UC Davis Medical Center is a major research hospital located in Sacramento, California and is the primary teaching hospital of UC Davis School of Medicine. Researchers and specialists at the 577 licensed bed medical center work in over 150 areas of specialty. The UC Davis hospital has been ranked among the top 50 hospitals in the nation in the 2004 survey of US News and World Report. Particularly respected are its programs in heart surgery and ear, nose, and throat treatment. It is also a Level I trauma center for both adults and pediatrics.

    High-Resolution Fourier-Domain Optical Coherence Tomography of Choroidal Neovascular Membranes Associated with Age-Related Macular Degeneration High-resolution Fourier-domain optical coherence tomography (Fd-OCT) provided visualization of choroidal neovascular membrane (CNVM) and associated morphologic changes in the retina in eyes with neovascular age-related macular degeneration. The growth pattern and size of CNVM was determined with Fd-OCT and correlated better with findings on fluorescein angiography in eyes with classic lesions. (Read Full Article)

    Explore Article SPIE Digital Library (Feb 19 2010)

    Evaluation of complex conjugate artifact removal methods used in spectrometer-based Fourier-domain optical coherence tomography systems - a comparative study We evaluated several, previously published, complex conjugate artifact removal methods and algorithms that have been proposed for Fourier domain optical coherence tomography (Fd-OCT). To ensure comparable conditions, only one OCT system was used, but with modified data acquisition schemes, depending on the requirements of each method/algorithm. This limited our evaluation to single spectrometer based Fd-OCT approaches. The suppression ratio of complex conjugate artifact images using a paperboard is assessed for ... (Read Full Article)

    Volumetric microvascular imaging of human retina using optical coherence tomography with a novel motion contrast technique Phase variance-based motion contrast imaging is demonstrated using a spectral domain optical coherence tomography system for the in vivo human retina. This contrast technique spatially identifies locations of motion within the retina primarily associated with vasculature. Histogrambased noise analysis of the motion contrast images was used to reduce the motion noise created by transverse eye motion. En face summation images created from the 3D motion contrast data are presented with ... (Read Full Article)

    Cellular imaging of the living human retina A device combining optical coherence tomography and adaptive optics can capture micron-scale 3D pictures of the retina. Viewing the retina through the eye's cornea and crystalline lens dates back to the time of Helmholtz, inventor of the ophthalmoscope. Ophthalmoscopes have advanced substantially since then and are now an indispensable non-invasive tool for diagnosis and treatment monitoring. While there are three principal types—conventional ophthalmoscopes, confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscopes (cSLOs), and optical ... (Read Full Article)
