Subcellular imaging of epithelium with time-lapse optical coherence tomography.
We present the first experimental result of direct delineation of the nuclei of living rat bladder epithelium with ultrahigh-resolution optical coherence tomography (uOCT). We demonstrate that the cellular details embedded in the speckle noise in a uOCT image can be uncovered by time-lapse frame averaging that takes advantage of the micromotion in living biological tissue. The uOCT measurement ...
متن کاملExperimental Visualization of Labyrinthine Structure with Optical Coherence Tomography
Introduction:Visualization of inner ear structures is a valuable strategy for researchers and clinicians working on hearing pathologies. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a high-resolution imaging technology which may be used for the visualization of tissues. In this experimental study we aimed to evaluate inner ear anatomy in well-prepared human labyrinthine bones.Materials and Methods:Thr...
متن کاملImaging Granulomatous Lesions with Optical Coherence Tomography
AIM To investigate and compare the presentation of granulomatous lesions in optical coherence tomography (OCT) images and compare this to previous studies of nonmelanoma skin tumors. METHODS Two patients with granulomas, tophi and granuloma annulare (GA), respectively, were photographed digitally, OCT-scanned and biopsied in the said order. Normal skin was OCT-scanned for comparison, but not ...
متن کاملCombining Optical Coherence Tomography with Fluorescence Imaging
1.1 Overview of optical coherence tomography Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a promising imaging technology which can provide subsurface imaging of biological tissues (Huang et al., 1991). OCT images are similar to the ultrasound images, but with significantly higher resolution (5-10 times) than the clinical ultrasound. OCT enables imaging of tissue microstructure with micron-level resolu...
متن کاملImaging pharmaceutical tablets with optical coherence tomography.
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a recently developed optical technique that produces depth profiles of three-dimensional objects. It is a nondestructive interferometric method responding to refractive index variation in the sample under study and can reach a penetration depth of a few millimetres. OCT employs near-infrared (NIR) light and therefore provides a link between NIR spectroscopy...
