Optimizing OCT alignment: a semi-automatic alignment module for OCT imaging

This paper introduces a semi-automatic alignment module tailored for next-generation ophthalmic imaging systems, specifically Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT). The module addresses critical challenges in modern ophthalmic diagnostics, such as space efficiency, patient comfort, and precise alignment. Our design integrates head stabilization, three-dimensional optical axis matching, and real-time feedback, ensuring accurate and repeatable imaging. Experimental results validate the system’s effectiveness, demonstrating enhanced diagnostic precision and ease of use. This alignment system offers a comprehensive solution for seamlessly incorporating advanced imaging technologies into existing clinical settings without compromising patient experience.
