Optical Coherence Tomography

TL;DR: The optical coherence tomograph is a new, noninvasive technical device that can obtain cross-sectional, high-resolution images-optical coherencetomographs (OCT)-of the retina that permits an accurate evaluation of various macular and chorioretinal pathologies and the early detection of glaucomatous damage.

In Vivo Endoscopic Optical Biopsy with Optical Coherence Tomography

TL;DR: Optical coherence tomography was adapted to allow high-speed visualization of tissue in a living animal with a catheter-endoscope 1 millimeter in diameter, and was used to obtain cross-sectional images of the rabbit gastrointestinal and respiratory tracts at 10-micrometer resolution.

Optical Coherence Tomography of the Human Retina

TL;DR: In this article, optical coherence tomography is used for high-resolution, noninvasive imaging of the human retina, including the macula and optic nerve head in normal human subjects.

Ultrahigh-resolution, high-speed, Fourier domain optical coherence tomography and methods for dispersion compensation.

TL;DR: High-resolution spectral domain OCT is shown to provide a ~100x increase in imaging speed when compared to ultrahigh-resolution time domain OCT, and a general technique for automatic numerical dispersion compensation is presented, which is applicable to spectral domain as well as swept source embodiments of Fourier domain OCT.

Optical coherence tomography

TL;DR: OCT as discussed by the authors uses low-coherence interferometry to produce a two-dimensional image of optical scattering from internal tissue microstructures in a way analogous to ultrasonic pulse-echo imaging.

Optical Coherence Tomography

TL;DR: Optical coherence tomography (OCT) has developed rapidly since its first realisation in medicine and is currently an emerging technology in the diagnosis of skin disease as mentioned in this paper, where OCT is an interferometric technique that detects reflected and backscattered light from tissue.

Optic Nerve Damage in Human Glaucoma: III. Quantitative Correlation of Nerve Fiber Loss and Visual Field Defect in Glaucoma, Ischemic Neuropathy, Papilledema, and Toxic Neuropathy

TL;DR: The pattern of atrophy in examples of toxic amblyopia, ischemic optic neuropathy and chronic papilledema differ from that of glaucoma, suggesting different mechanisms of damage in these conditions.
