Systematic Optimization for Optical Coherence Tomographic Imaging
نویسنده
چکیده
Optical coherence tomography is a powerful tool that can e ectively provide detail information of biological tissue structure. The axis resolution of optical coherence tomographyhas achieved sub-micrometer andweare interested in its ultrahigh resolution that can be practically utilized for clinical application. In this article, the basic system calibration is discussed; we systematically demonstrated the detail process in optimization of optical coherence tomography for accurately acquiring data. The systematic optimization for optical coherence tomography imaging is discussed here including system calibration and image post-processing.

We present a numerical image-formation model for investigating the influence of partial coherence, sample thickness and depth-of-focus on the accuracy of tomographic reconstructions in transmission x-ray microscopes. The model combines wave propagation through the object by finite difference techniques with Fourier methods. We include a ray-tracing model to analyse the origin of detrimental str...

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is an evolving imaging modality that combines interferometry with low-coherence light to produce high-resolution tissue imaging. Cross-sectional in vivo images were obtained using an OCT device consisting of a Michelson interferometer, 1.3-microm broadband light source, and a handheld fiberoptic imaging probe. Image pixel resolution approached 10 microm. The m...
متن کاملHigh-resolution optical coherence tomographic imaging using a mode-locked Ti:Al(2)O(3) laser source.
A Kerr-lens mode-locked Ti:Al(2)O(3) oscillator, optimized for minimal coherence length, is demonstrated as a high-power source for high-resolution optical coherence tomographic imaging. Dispersion compensation and heterodyne noise rejection are demonstrated to yield in situ images of biological tissues with 3.7-mum resolution and 93-dB dynamic range.
