OCT News
OCT Improves Lens Development
ROCHESTER, N.Y., May 1, 2013 — Using OCT during the manufacture of a new type of optical lenses could improve their development by providing researchers with a better picture of the complete structure that makes up the material.
Telerobotics Treats Bladder Cancer Better
NASHVILLE, Tenn., and NEW YORK, April 5, 2013 — Removing tumors from the lining of the bladder, a procedure called transurethral resection, could become more tolerable for the patient and easier for the surgeon using a telerobotic platform that is under development.
Imaging Tech Could Lower Heart Disease Deaths
LOGAN, Utah, April 3, 2013 — Patients undergoing angioplasty or other heart-related medical procedures could benefit from a new optical imaging technology that creates detailed images of coronary artery walls in vivo.
FAMOS Aims to Make OCT Light Sources More Compact
VIENNA, March 26, 2013 — Optical coherence tomography (OCT) light sources will shrink to one-fifth the size of conventional devices with the help of a tapered laser being developed by the European Union project FAMOS (Functional Anatomical Molecular Optical Screening).
OCT images blood vessels that feed cancer
VIENNA and MUNICH – An optical coherence tomography (OCT) technique that noninvasively maps the network of tiny blood vessels in the epidermis could soon help doctors better diagnose, monitor and treat skin cancer. Scientists at Medical University Vienna (MUW) are the...
3-D Stress Map Reveals Embryonic Heart Defects
CLEVELAND, Nov. 1, 2012 — Stresses induced in an embryonic heart by blood flow have been visualized for the first time in 3-D using an optical coherence tomography (OCT) method. The technique could provide new insight into how and why heart defects develop.
OCT Images Blood Vessels that Feed Cancer
VIENNA and MUNICH, Oct. 9, 2012 — An optical coherence tomography technique that noninvasively maps the network of tiny blood vessels in the epidermis could soon help doctors better diagnose, monitor and treat skin cancer.
SMART Scalpel Gives Surgeons Superhuman Precision
BALTIMORE, Sept. 28, 2012 — A new "smart" surgical tool equipped with a specialized optical fiber sensor can compensate for almost imperceptible hand tremors by making hundreds of precise position corrections each second — fast enough to keep a surgeon’s hand on...
OCT, Adaptive Optics Net €1M Vision Science Award
LISBON, Portugal, Sept. 17, 2012 — Pioneers in optical coherence tomography and adaptive optics for retina visualization received the 2012 António Champalimaud Vision Award late last week in recognition of the techniques’ applications to in vivo study, diagnosis and...
OCT device could KO chronic ear infections
CHAMPAIGN, Ill. – A new optical coherence tomography (OCT) device that can see difficult-to-detect bacteria behind the eardrum could help clinicians better diagnose and treat chronic ear infections. Ear infections are the most common conditions that pediatricians...
OCT in Dermatology Training Opens in Bonn
BONN, Germany, July 13, 2012 — Private medical center Medizinisches Zentrum Bonn Friedensplatz will offer the first training workshop for clinicians on the use and applications of optical coherence tomography in dermatology.
All-Fiber Probes Hold Promise for Medical Imaging Applications
Jul 1, 2012 — Optical fiber probes are still in the early stages of manufacturing, but filament fusion technology enables many probe designs, from ball lenses to fiber lenses, among others. Cleaving fiber bundles with high quality and good throughput facilitates...
OCT Device Could KO Ear Infections
CHAMPAIGN, Ill., June 1, 2012 — A new optical coherence tomography (OCT) device that can see difficult-to-detect bacteria behind the eardrum could help clinicians to better diagnose and treat chronic ear infections.
FDA Clears Cataract Surgery Laser
SANTA CLARA, Calif., Dec. 30, 2011 — OptiMedica Corp., a global ophthalmic device company, received FDA 510(k) market clearance for its Catalys laser, a next-generation cataract surgery system. Catalys combines a femtosecond laser, integrated optical coherence tomography imaging and...
Biomolecules Show Their True Colors
DURHAM, N.C., Oct. 28, 2011 — After years of black-and-white and false-color 3-D molecular imaging, events beneath the surface of the skin can now be viewed in their true colors. A novel method detects and shows, for example, the vivid shades of red of hemoglobin as it is...
Hybrid Imager Spots Elusive Cancer
STORRS, Conn., Sept. 16, 2011 — A combination of three previously unrelated imaging tools promises to lead the way to diagnoses of early-stage ovarian cancer in high-risk women through minimally invasive surgery. The new technique may be better than the current standard procedure...
OCT Distinguishes Between Low- and High-Risk Cysts
ANDOVER, Mass., Aug. 19, 2011 — Optical coherence tomography (OCT) can distinguish between pancreatic cysts that are at low risk for becoming malignant and those that are high-risk. Other optical techniques often fail to provide images that are clear enough to differentiate...
High-Speed 3-D Imaging Could Improve Cancer Screening
WASHINGTON, Aug. 4, 2011 — Researchers at MIT have developed an imaging system that enables high-speed, 3-D imaging of microscopic precancerous changes in the esophagus or colon. The new system is based on optical coherence tomography (OCT) techniques, which offer a way to...
ECBO Promotes Advances in Biomedical Optics
May 1, 2011 — The development and application of optical techniques and tools for biomedical imaging, diagnostics and therapy have been continuously expanding for several decades. These advances are based on multidisciplinary efforts requiring contributions from...
Matcher Takes 6-month Assignment at Michelson Diagnostics
ORPINGTON, England, March 16, 2011 — Dr. Stephen Matcher, senior lecturer in biomedical engineering at the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at the University of Sheffield, has been matched with imaging developer Michelson Diagnostics for six months to provide optical...
