Noninvasive Characterisation of Foot Reflexology Areas by Swept Source-Optical Coherence Tomography in Patients with Low Back Pain
Objective. When exploring the scientific basis of reflexology techniques, elucidation of the surface and subsurface features of reflexology areas (RAs) is crucial. In this study, the subcutaneous features of RAs related to the lumbar vertebrae were evaluated by swept source-optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) in subjects with and without low back pain (LBP). Methods. Volunteers without LBP (n...
متن کاملNoninvasive detection of microaneurysms in diabetic retinopathy by swept-source optical coherence tomography
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES A method of identifying retinal vascular microaneurysms (MAs) in nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR) using swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT). PATIENTS AND METHODS SS-OCT images were acquired in 17 eyes with NPDR using prototype SS-OCT device and fluorescein angiography (FA) images were obtained simultaneously. MAs identified on SS-OCT slabs ...

متن کاملChoroidal Imaging with Swept Source Optical Coherence Tomography – A Review
The choroid provides up to 70 % of blood and oxygen to the eye. Pathological changes of this vascular tissue may lead to malnutrition of the retina and therefore be involved in the pathogenesis of numerous retinal disorders. Swept source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) is a new development of a non-invasive imaging technique that uses a tunable laser source with a higher wavelength light ...
متن کاملOffice-based dynamic imaging of vocal cords in awake patients with swept-source optical coherence tomography.
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is an evolving noninvasive imaging modality that has been used to image the human larynx during surgical endoscopy. The design of a long gradient index (GRIN) lens-based probe capable of capturing images of the human larynx by use of swept-source OCT during a typical office-based laryngoscopy examination is presented. In vivo OCT imaging of the human larynx is...
