Figure 6

Circumferential scanning. (A) A typical circumferential image with details of TM/SC/CC shown. Some SC/CC narrow or discontinue but can be appearing larger at nearby radial locations (perpendicular to the paper direction), and this can be verified by 3D reconstruction of previous radial stacks. (B) A ‘panoramic’ view of TM/SC/CC regions, which is concatenated by non-overlapping, circumferential scans, demonstrating a 3.5-mm (i.e., 2.5-mm translation plus 1-mm image width itself) circumferential coverage of the iridocorneal angle. Continuous circumferential representation gives ophthalmologists direct access to the pattern change of the TM/SC/CC details, which is potentially applicable in preoperative planning for glaucoma surgeries. More dense and overlapping scanned images can be found in video3_cir. TM: trabecular meshwork; SC: Schlemm’s canal; CC: collector channel. Same eye used in Fig. 1.
