Demonstration of an Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) imaging system

A state-of-the-art commercial multi-beam Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) imaging system will be demonstrated, showing the capability of the instrument to provide high resolution (< 10 µm) images of tissue in real time, revealing details of tissue microstructure. We will discuss aspects of the physics and technology of OCT that require study that may enable further improvements in diagnostic image quality.
