Figure 4
Scleral vessel artifacts in polarization-dependent OCT images and commercial OCT images in the same locations. The right eye of a 38-year-old woman with pathologic myopia is shown. White line in color fundus image (a) indicates the scan line for PD-OCT images and commercial OCT B-scan images (b–e). Polarization-independent OCT B-scan image (b) shows a real scleral vessel (white arrow). Polarization-dependent OCT B-scan image (c) and two repeated commercial OCT B-scan images (d, e) also show real scleral vessels (white arrows). Along with the real scleral vessel, polarization-dependent OCT B-scan image (c) shows scleral vessel artifacts (red arrows). Two repeated commercial OCT B-scan images (d, e) also show scleral vessel artifacts (red arrows) in locations similar to the locations in polarization-dependent OCT images.
