What is optical coherence tomography?

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 tissues). It's similar to ultrasound, but uses light instead of sound. OCT is commonly used in ophthalmology to image the retina and diagnose eye diseases like glaucoma and macular degeneration. It also has applications in cardiology, dermatology, and gastroenterology for imaging tissue structures.

What other technologies are related to optical coherence tomography?

optical coherence tomography Competitor Technologies

B-scan ultrasonography provides cross-sectional images of the eye, offering an alternative when OCT imaging is limited (e.g., due to media opacities).
