  1. Towards freehand image acquisition in optical coherence tomography A new data-capture method could provide increased flexibility for clinical imaging applications. Optical coherence tomography (OCT), a biomedical diagnostic-imaging technique, is currently transitioning from the research laboratory into clinical practice.1 Providing micrometer-scale resolution over millimeter-scale fields of view, OCT is the optical analog of ultrasound. It uses low-coherence interferometry to perform optical ranging in biological tissue. Clinical applications under investigation include optical biopsy2 and detection of tumor margins during image-guided surgery.3 The clinical applications of OCT benefit from its real-time imaging capability and diverse sample-arm designs, including hand-held probes, rotating fiber-optic catheters, and miniature needles. The real-time diagnostic capability has ... (Read Full Article)
