  In the past, clinical trials in neuro-ophthalmology have focused upon functional endpoints including Snellen visual acuity and visual field testing, both of which may have significant test/retest variability because of their dependence upon subject alertness and cognitive function. The introduction of optical coherence tomography (OCT) into the practice of clinical ophthalmology has now extended into clinical trials in both ophthalmology and neurology. Recent advances in the resolution and reproducibility of spectral-domain OCT have now produced algorithms that measure the structural integrity of the optic nerve and retina. OCT is in vivo histopathology and the qualitative and quantitative metrics of ...

  Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a powerful imaging technique that provides cross-sectional imaging of the internal microstructures of biological tissues. Among several implementations of OCT, spectral-domain OCT (SD-OCT) provides high-resolution, high-sensitivity, and high-speed imaging. Such implementations enable visualization of the microstructures of the human eye by noninvasive and noncontact measurement. High sensitivity of OCT detection enables imaging of structures with very low optical scattering, such as the retina. The high axial and lateral resolution enables the precise morphological investigation of various pathological conditions. Recently, hardware and software upgrades have improved the ability to better evaluate intraocular tumors.

  Stroke is one of the leading causes of death in the world, resulting mostly from the sudden ruptures of atherosclerosis carotid plaques. However, until now, the exact plaque development/rupture mechanism has not been fully understood, and also the plaque rupture risk stratification. From biomechanical viewpoint, plaque initiation and development could be attributed to the disturbed flow in those arteries, and the sudden rupture of plaque can be resulted from plaque structure stability failure due to the mechanical stress in/outside plaque structure. Understanding this phenomenonwhy and how plaque develops and ruptures requires a multidisciplinary approach such as radiology, biomedical ...

13. Optical Techniques in Regenerative Medicine (Textbook)
  
  Explore CRC Press Online Jul 25 2013 Textbooks
  
  In regenerative medicine, tissue engineers largely rely on destructive and time-consuming techniques that do not allow in situ and spatial monitoring of tissue growth. Furthermore, once the therapy is implanted in the patient, clinicians are often unable to monitor what is happening in the body. To tackle these barriers, optical techniques have been developed to image and characterize many tissue properties, fabricate tissue engineering scaffolds, and characterize the properties of the scaffolds. Optical Techniques in Regenerative Medicine illustrates how to use optical imaging techniques and instrumentation for the fabrication, assessment, and longitudinal monitoring of regenerative medicine therapies. The book covers ...

  The incidence of Barrett's-related adenocarcinoma of the esophagus continues to increase at an alarming rate. Studies to date show great promise for optical coherence tomography (OCT) in screening, surveillance, and guiding management of Barrett's esophagus. With continued innovation in rapid, accurate scanning systems, such as volumetric laser endomicroscopy or optical frequency domain imaging, advanced OCT seems likely to have an important impact. The next fes years are likely to see the initiation of large clinical studies that will define the extend and significance of this impact.

16. Clinical and Research Applications of Optical Coherence Tomography Imaging in Coronary Artery Disease (Book Chapter)
  
  Explore intechopen.com Apr 1 2013 Cardiology , Textbooks
  
  Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is an optical analog of intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) that allows microscopic visualization of coronary plaque types and intracoronary tissue. The high-resolution images of OCT produce an intense interest in adopting this imaging technique for both clinical and research purposes. In clinical aspects, OCT imaging for undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is feasible and provides superior resolution of arterial pathology than IVUS. During PCI, OCT can assess pre-procedural coronary plaque morphology and acute effects of coronary intervention (dissection, tissue prolapse, thrombi, and incomplete stent apposition (ISA)). Moreover, OCT provides more useful information to consider PCI strategy, such ...

22. Large-volume optical coherence tomography with real-time correction of geometric distortion artifacts (Book Chapter)
  
  Explore arxiv.org Dec 12 2012 Textbooks
  
  Large-volume optical coherence tomography (OCT)-setups employ scanning mirrors and suffer from non-linear geometric distortion artifacts in which the degree of distortion is determined by the maximum angles over which the mirrors rotate. In this chapter, we describe a straightforward approach to correct for these distortion artifacts, creating an alternative to previously reported ray-tracing schemes that are unable to apply these corrections in real-time. By implementing the proposed 3D recalibration algorithm on the graphics card of a standard computer, this feature can be applied in real-time. We validate the accuracy of the technique using OCT measurements of a highly curved ...
