Optical tomographic image acquisition method and an optical tomographic imaging apparatus

摘要

PPROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an optical tomographic image acquisition method capable of generating a tomographic image having high resolution efficiently and simply. PSOLUTION: This method has a contact domain detection step for detecting a contact state between the outer periphery of an optical probe and a measuring object, and detecting a contact domain from a detection result of the contact state; an interference signal acquisition step for generating interference light by acquiring reflected light, while rotating a measuring part, and acquiring the interference light as an interference signal; and a sectional image acquisition step for acquiring a sectional image by processing the interference signal by the first processing condition, when the interference signal is an interference signal generated from reflected light reflected from the measuring object in the contact domain, and by processing the interference signal by the second processing condition, when the interference signal is an interference signal generated from reflected light reflected from the measuring object in a domain other than the contact domain. The first processing condition is a condition having higher processing accuracy than the second processing condition. PCOPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT
