Acquiring OCT images from dual sample arms at the same session is helpful in applications such as multi-directional imaging (angle independent Doppler, speckle reduction), spatially multiplexed imaging (multiple fields of view or depths), and acquisition of two separate imaging fields (whole eye or binocular imaging). However, dual sampling requires complex custom control, coordination, and processing. Vortex, an open-source OCT software library has a powerful and flexible OCT framework that accommodates custom OCT acquisitions and processing as well as support for auxiliary hardware utilized in research systems. Here we use Vortex based custom software to control interleaved B-Scan level switching between anterior segment and retinal imaging with a single OCT scanner utilizing real-time independent processing of the two samples.
