Measurement of retinal thickness from three‐dimensional images obtained from C scan images from the optical coherence tomography ophthalmoscope

Background:  One of the unique features of the optical coherence tomography (OCT) ophthalmoscope is that it can record C scan images of the retina. The purpose of this study was to determine the best recording time to measure the retinal thickness with the OCT ophthalmoscope. In addition, the accuracy of the measurements was examined by comparing the values obtained by the OCT ophthalmoscope with those obtained with the Stratus OCT Model 3000 (OCT III) assuming that the OCT III gives an accurate measurement of retinal thickness.
