Abstract

Optical Coherence Tomography Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is a novel imaging technique that is analogous to ultrasound imaging with low coherence, near-infrared light waves. It holds the potential to provide researchers and medical clinicians with in vivo, real-time images with sub-cellular resolution (5 - 10 microns). These images can be acquired non-invasively and without damage to the sample. OCT promises to advance state-of-the-art microstructural and functional imaging for bio-medical applications with in vivo visualization of individual cells or cell clusters in intact tissues. The ability to perform real-time, non-invasive "histopathology" can have a major impact on research and clinical management.
