Eye doctors use lenses to look inside the back of the eye, at the retina, to search for diseasescausing vision problems. With these lenses, they can only see the surface of the retina. Also,what they see is rarely recorded. Eye-witness testimony of the eye doctor is how clinicaldiagnosis is done at this time. A new technology called OCT can show pictures of the retinabelow the surface. These pictures are recorded first and then analyzed by the eye doctor.Since these devices only see a small area of the retina at a time, eye doctors prefer the oldway of looking through the retina directly using lenses.We propose to develop a new OCT scanner that can record a picture of the full retina, thesame or better than the area seen with lenses directly, so doctors dont miss anything. At thesame time, OCT pictures show what's below the surface, like blood vessels. Since the retinapictures are recorded, these can be interpreted and discussed by more than one doctor, andevent sent to another clinic for more analysis and expert opinion.We propose to develop computer programs that use equations to make measurements fromthese pictures. So not only can the doctor see below the retina over a wide area, they canalso get measurements that let them decide if a region inside the retina is healthy or if there issome problem such as damaged cells in the retina, poor or damaged blood supply, or anyother damage.The OCTSurfer technology that we propose has the potential to make it easy for doctors tofind diseases by making detailed and minute measurements that are difficult to make visually.This will lower the chances of errors, like when something is judged to be a problem when itisnt, or when a problem is missed. People living far from cities can benefit by sending theirimages to a eye doctor in a city clinic. Optometrists could use OCTSurfer to screen fordisease and refer people to eye specialists for proper diagnosis.

眼科医生使用镜头看眼睛的背面，视网膜，寻找疾病的视力问题。使用这些镜头，他们只能看到视网膜的表面。另外，他们看到的很少记录。眼科医生的目击者证词是目前如何进行临床诊断。一种名为OCT的新技术可以显示视网膜上的图片。这些图片首先记录下来，然后由眼科医生进行分析。由于这些设备仅一次看到视网膜的一小部分区域，因此眼科医生更喜欢直接使用镜头直接浏览视网膜的旧路。我们建议开发一个可以录制完整视网膜的新扫描仪，比镜头直接看到的镜头，因此没有任何东西，所以任何东西都不会错过。在这个时候，OCT图片显示了表面下方的内容，例如血管。由于记录了视网膜，因此可以由一位以上的医生解释和讨论这些信息，并将Event发送给另一个诊所以进行更多分析和专家意见。我们建议开发使用方程来从这些图片中进行测量的计算机程序。因此，医生不仅可以在广泛的区域内看到视网膜下方，而且他们还能获得测量，使他们决定视网膜内部的一个区域是否健康，或者是否存在诸如视网膜中损坏的细胞，较差或损坏的血液供应或其他任何损害，或者其他任何损害。我们建议的OCTSURFER技术可以使医生的限制和详细的次数限制，从而使其变得较低，从而使其变得较低的次数。错误，例如当某事时被认为是一个问题时，或者错过问题时。远离城市的人们可以通过将自己的图像发送给城市诊所的眼科医生来受益。验光师可以使用Octsurfer筛选福特酶，并将人们推荐给眼科专家以进行适当的诊断。
