Owing to its high axial resolution, optical coherence tomography (OCT) has the capacity to reconstruct 3-D structures with micron precision. However, due to tissue scattering, limited field-of-view per scan, and limited depth of focus, it is challenging to reconstruct large, complex volumetric objects that do not fit within one OCT scan. To address this problem, we developed novel montaging schemes to combine OCT volumes acquired from different angles and positions. We demonstrate the effectiveness of this method by measuring the aqueous volume of the anterior and posterior chambers of the mouse eye.
