Abstract
This disclosure relates to the field of Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT). This disclosure particularly relates to an OCT system that generates an image with improved quality. In one example, the OCT system may generate an improved Bscan image by using multiple shaping functions to shape the raw A-scans. In another example, the OCT system may generate the improved B-scan image by forming multiple apodization patterns on a detector and acquiring raw A-scans by using the apodization patterns. A better diagnosis of a health condition may be reached by using the improved images generated by the OCT system of this disclosure.
