OsiriX: An Open-Source Multimodal Image Processing Platform for OCT Image Enhancement

Abstract

Recent advances in ophthalmic imaging have created the need for accurate, user-friendly, and widely compatible viewing platforms. In addition, post-capture image manipulation including micrometer-level measurements are becoming increasingly important. OsiriX is an opensource viewing platform approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration originally designed for viewing Digital Images and Communication in Medicine (DICOM) images generated by radiologic studies. The authors report the use of OsiriX for importing optical coherence tomography images, highlighting details with various contrast windows, and accurate calibration for detailed anatomic measurements. This viewing modality may be useful in performing accurate, detailed manipulations of ophthalmic images for clinical evaluation, research, and publication purposes.
