The aim of this article is to provide an improvement in the reconstruction and visualization of retinal superficial capillary plexus and choriocapillaris images from healthy subjects. The implemented method uses multiple Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) scanned sequences, performs a registration, an average and a filtering on them using for this last step the Sampling Kantorovich operator (SK). The resulting images are then analyzed with some well known methods in literature to quantitatively evaluate the improvement achieved by the proposed technique. Also fluoroangiography and histological images are introduced as reference to support the reliability and the goodness of the results.
