Title: Optical Coherence Tomography for Clinical Applications
Abstract: Optical coherence tomography (OCT) allows cross-sectional imaging of biological tissues at spatial resolutions on the order of several to tens of microns showing potential of detecting or screening for diseases. Until recently, however, OCT has been too slow for large volume imaging that greatly limits its clinical utility. The second-generation OCT technology has recently been developed that solves this problem by providing images at much higher frame rates with high sensitivity. In this chapter, we discuss the emergence and the recent advances of the second-generation OCT technology, and show the new applications and changes that this new technology has brought to the clinical field.
