Abstract
An apparatus, method, computer-readable medium, and computer program product, for designating an OCT scan location to be performed on a retina. The apparatus comprises a display device for displaying an image comprising a background image of the retina and a planning element designating the location; a touch-sensitive input device that generates touch interaction data indicative of touch interaction of a user with the input device; an image manipulation module determines, based on the touch interaction data, a manipulation to be performed on the displayed image, and applies the image manipulation to the image in response to each touch interaction to generate an updated image to display; and a scan location designation module generates data indicative of the location of the OCT scan to be performed, based on a location of the planning element on the background image in at least one updated image.
