What is OCT?

Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses light waves to capture high-resolution, three-dimensional images from within optical scattering media (e.g., biological tissue). It is commonly used in ophthalmology to image the retina and diagnose eye diseases, but it also has applications in cardiology, dermatology, and other medical fields for imaging tissue structures.

What other technologies are related to OCT?

OCT Competitor Technologies

B-scan

B-scan ultrasonography provides cross-sectional imaging of the eye, similar to OCT. B-scan uses ultrasound waves, while OCT uses light waves. OCT generally offers higher resolution.

OCT Complementary Technologies

Topography

Corneal topography maps the surface curvature of the cornea. It is complementary as it assesses a different aspect of the eye but can be used in conjunction with OCT for a comprehensive assessment.

IOL Master

IOL Master is used for biometry measurements, including axial length, which are important for IOL power calculation. Complementary for pre-operative planning.

Visual Field

Visual field testing assesses peripheral vision, which is related to glaucoma and other optic nerve diseases. OCT helps to image the optic nerve, so the two are complementary.
