Advances in optical coherence tomography expand clinical applications
Researchers from MIT along with Acacia Communications recently developed the first optical coherence tomography system that provides opportunities for long-range measurements and imaging of cubic meter volumes which would allow clinicians to see deeper and clearer images of the anatomy, according to a paper published in Optica. “Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a powerful 3-D imaging modality with micrometer scale axial resolution and up to multi-GigaVoxel/s imaging speed. However, the imaging range of high speed OCT has been limited [to depths of a few centimeters],” James G. Fujimoto, PhD, from (Read more...)
