Volumetric circumferential scans of the limbus were obtained via SD-OCT (any scan containing structure and Doppler data will suffice). Scan data is then adjusted so that the gray scale presentation features outflow vessels as white structure on a dark background. A rolling ball background subtraction algorithm is then applied, and then contrast adjusted to isolate the outflow vessels. Individual processed volumes are stitched together to provide a perilimbal view of outflow structures. Terminal branches in the outflow vascular network are identified, and Doppler within those structures is measured. Doppler and cross-sectional assessments are combined to calculate flow in each terminal branch of the outflow network. Total aqueous humor outflow is determined by integrating flow across all identified terminal outflow structures.
