As the surgeon carefully prepares to make his first incision, he visualizes the route he planned and rehearsed earlier, guided by an ever-advancing suite of optical imaging tools. Thanks to optical molecular imaging, MRI, CT and the emerging field of optical coherence tomography (OCT), medical professionals are not only better equipped, but they also are better able to diagnose and plan procedures ranging from biopsies to surgery. MRI and CT are commonly used in radiology to provide real-time subsurface images of patients noninvasively. Unlike CT, MRI uses non-ionizing radiation and...Read full article

    optical coherence tomography
    Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a non-invasive imaging technique used in medical and scientific fields to capture high-resolution, cross-sectional images of biological tissues. It provides detailed, real-time, and three-dimensional visualization of tissue structures at the micrometer scale. OCT is particularly valuable in ophthalmology, cardiology, dermatology, and various other medical specialties. Here are the key features and components of optical coherence tomography: Principle of...
