Abstract
We present a miniaturized handheld OCT probe (9 grams weight), approximately the size of a small pen (10 mm x 140 mm), developed for use inside a patient’s mouth for examination of the oral mucosa. The probe operates in common-path mode and uses a magnetic scanning system to actuate a lensed fibre, achieving 50 B-scans per second. The system is demonstrated with OCT imaging of the buccal and alveolar mucosa of six patients with oral lichen planus (OLP) during clinical routine examination, and showed pathological changes in the tissue microarchitecture.
