      Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography of the Eye

      Optical coherence tomography (OCT) angiography is an important new imaging modality that is already being used by ophthalmologists in retina centers worldwide. It uses motion as intrinsic contrast, thus obviating the need to inject any intravenous dye. It uses infrared light that is invisible to the patient, and only requires few seconds per scan. This makes it both easier to use and much better tolerated by patients than traditional dye-based fluorescein angiography (FA) and indocyanine green (ICG) angiography. Inside Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography of the Eye Drs. David Huang, Bruno Lumbroso, Yali Jia, and Nadia Waheed include detailed information on ...

      Supercontinuum Generation in a Silicon Nanowire Embedded Photonic Crystal Fiber for Optical Coherence Tomography Applications (Book Chapter)

      In this paper, we design a silicon nanowire embedded photonic crystal fiber (SN-PCF) using fully vectorial finite element method. Further, we analyze the various optical properties, namely, waveguide dispersion and nonlinearity by varying the core diameter from 400 to 500 nm for a wide range of wavelengths from 0.8 to 1.7 μm. The proposed structure exhibits a low second (−0.4909 ps 2 /m) and third order (0.6595 10 −3 ps 3 /m) dispersions with very high nonlinearity (1358 W −1 m −1 ) for 480 nm core diameter at 0.8 μm wavelength.

      Optical Coherence Tomography and Wide-Field Fluorescein Angiography in Retinopathy of Prematurity (Book Chapter)

      The advent and adaptation of many imaging modalities promise to revolutionize our understanding of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) by improving the detection, diagnosis, and monitoring of response to treatment of this disease. Diagnosis and classification of ROP traditionally relies on an eye exam by an ophthalmologist expert in this area who characterizes extent and character of retinal vascularization via indirect ophthalmoscopy. Many tools now exist that allow for data acquisition by nurses, technicians, and other trained staff with the images analyzed in a more centralized location. We will focus on two rapidly evolving technologies, optical coherence tomography (OCT), and wide ...

      Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography in Macular Edema (Book Chapter)

      OCT angiography is a promising new method to visualize the retinal vasculature and choroidal vascular layers in the macular area and provides depth resolved functional information of the blood flow in the vessels. Given that the main moving elements in the eye fundus are contained in vessels, determining a vascular decorrelation signal enables visualization of 3-dimensional retinal and choroidal vascular network without the administration of intravenous dye and thus reducing the risk of potential adverse events.

      Undoubtedly, optical coherence tomography has changed the approach of clinicians in their daily practice. The evolution of technology from time domain to spectral domain and swept source OCT increased the possibilities of imaging the retinal and choroidal details. Newer evaluations are now available to better understand the diseases and to fi nd new biomarkers for retinal and choroidal pathologies. From measurement to morphology could be the right description of changes occurring from time domain to spectral domain. The possibility to visualize retinal and choroidal morphology in real life and not only post-mortem allowed a better understanding not only of the ...

      Optical Coherence Tomography: Clinical Applications in Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (Book Chapter)

      Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a high-resolution imaging modality that uses principles of light interferometry. It has achieved clinical application in several other specialties such as ophthalmology and cardiology where its high resolution and deeper penetration into the surface permits much more detailed examination of the mucosa. In the field of gastroenterology, the technology has evolved through several iterations beginning with a focal magnifying imaging technique and evolving into currently a widefield imaging modality that can scan a relatively large area of mucosa with high resolution. OCT has been used to detect dysplasia in Barrett’s esophagus, differentiate between inflammatory ...

      Handbook of Full-Field Optical Coherence Microscopy: Technology and Applications (Textbook)

      Full-field optical coherence microscopy (FF-OCM) is an imaging technique that provides cross-sectional views of the subsurface microstructure of semitransparent objects. The technology is based on low-coherence interference microscopy, which uses an area camera for en face imaging of the full-field illuminated object. FF-OCM benefits from the lateral imaging resolution of optical microscopy along with the capacity of optical axial sectioning at micrometer-scale resolution. The technique can be employed in diverse applications, in particular for non-invasive examination of biological tissues. This handbook is the first to be entirely devoted to FF-OCM. It is organized into four parts with a total of ...

      Optical Coherence Tomography of the Optic Disc and the Macula in Neurodegenerative Diseases (Book Chapter)

      Optical coherence tomography (OCT) was introduced in the beginning of the 1990s as a new imaging tool that enables the high-resolution in vivo examination of biological tissues. It was first used in ophthalmology where the OCT technology revolutionized the diagnostics of the conditions of the macula and the vitreo-retinal interface. Today, there is intensive research on the possible applications of OCT in other specialties, e.g., angiology, oncology, gastroenterology, dermatology, and dentistry. In the future, OCT may play an important role in the diagnosis and monitoring of neurodegenerative diseases, owing to the fact that the retina is such a unique ...

      Optical Coherence Tomography: Role in Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (Book Chapter)

      Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is an imaging modality that utilizes back-reflection of near-infrared light. Superior resolution intra-coronary imaging, including assessment of plaque morphology and characteristics as well as imaging stents and post-stent complications have made OCT a powerful research tool, and more recently a clinical tool for guidance of PCI. Visualization of coronary lesions with OCT and their characterization as lipid-rich, fibrous, or fibro-calcific plaque can influence percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) procedural planning. OCT has contributed significantly to the understanding of culprit lesion pathophysiology in acute coronary syndromes (ACS). ACS culprit lesions have been categorized by OCT features as resulting ...
