Full-field optical coherence tomography: a new technology for 3D high-resolution skin imaging.
BACKGROUND/AIMS Full-field optical coherence tomography (FFOCT) is a new imaging technology that can provide 3D micron-level resolution and is suited for high-resolution imaging of biological tissue. The aim of this study was to evaluate its capacity and potential for imaging human epidermis and dermis and various skin pathologies in ex vivo and in vivo conditions. METHODS Non-fixed and fixed...
متن کاملUltrahigh speed optical coherence tomography : New developments for ophthalmic imaging
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is an imaging technique providing depthresolved, cross-sectional imaging of biological tissues with micrometer scale resolution. Recent advances in sensitivity and imaging speed have enabled the acquisition of three dimensional (3D) data sets. In ophthalmology, OCT has become an indispensible imaging tool for diagnosis of disease and monitoring therapy. While ...
متن کاملOptical coherence tomography: a new high-resolution imaging technology to study cardiac development in chick embryos.
BACKGROUND Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a depth-resolved, noninvasive, non-destructive imaging modality, the use of which has yet to be fully realized in developmental biology. METHODS AND RESULTS We visualized embryonic chick hearts at looping stages using an OCT system with a 22 micro m axial and 27 micro m lateral resolution and an acquisition rate of 4000 A-scans per second. Norm...
متن کاملForward-imaging instruments for optical coherence tomography.
We discuss the design and implementation of forward-imaging instruments for optical coherence tomography (OCT), which require the delivery, scanning, and collection of single-spatial-mode optical radiation. A hand-held surgical probe for use in open surgery can provide cross-sectional images of subsurface tissue before surgical incisions are made. A rigid laparoscope for minimally invasive surg...
متن کاملOptical Coherence Tomography for Ophthalmic Imaging
Understanding the etiology and evolution of the vulnerable coronary plaque is important for the early detection, treatment, and prevention of coronary artery disease. Intravascular optical coherence tomography (OCT) enables imaging of the coronary arteries in vivo with sufficient resolution to accurately differentiate arterial pathology, however, the clinical utility of this technology has been...
