Abstract

Birefringence of the retinal nerve fiber has the potential as a useful biomarker for the study of neurodegenerative diseases such as multiple sclerosis. To realize this potential and assist in the development of diagnostic tools and therapies for neurodegenerative diseases, high-resolution retinal polarimetry suitable for humans and rodent models is needed. However, conventional polarization-sensitive optical coherence tomography (PS-OCT) processing generally imposes a resolution penalty by spatially filtering incoherent Stokes vectors, or the underlying coherent Jones-based OCT measurements. Here, we demonstrate the possibility to resolve polarimetric parameters of individual axonal bundles in-vivo with our probabilistic non-local means processing for Stokes-based PS-OCT.
