About Jonathan P. Williamson

Jonathan P. Williamson

Dr Jonathan Williamson MBBS graduated from the University of New South Wales in 1999 and completed his advanced training in Respiratory and Sleep Medicine at The Royal North Shore Hospital and St Vincents Hospital in Sydney, Australia.  He commenced his PhD in 2007 at the University of Western Australia and Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital in Perth, Australia.  This body of work focuses on the bronchoscopic applications of anatomical optical coherence tomography (aOCT) and will assess validation of the technique in the human lower airway, the role of aOCT in managing tracheobronchial stenoses and investigation into the regional airway stiffness characteristics in asthma, emphysema and bronchiectasis.

    Airway Narrowing Assessed by Anatomical Optical Coherence Tomography In Vitro: Dynamic Airway Wall Morphology and Function Regulation of airway caliber by lung volume or bronchoconstrictor stimulation is dependent on physiological, structural and mechanical events within the airway wall, including airway smooth muscle (ASM) contraction, deformation of the mucosa and cartilage, and tensioning of elastic matrices linking wall components. Despite close association between events in the airway wall and the resulting airway caliber these have typically been studied separately: the former primarily using histological approaches, the latter ...

    Explore Article European Respiratory Journal (Jun 21 2009) Otolaryngology

    Airway dimensions are difficult to quantify bronchoscopically because of optical distortion and a limited ability to gauge depth. Anatomical optical coherence tomography (aOCT), a novel imaging technique, may overcome these limitations. This study evaluated the accuracy of aOCT against existing techniques in phantom, excised pig and in vivo human airways. Three comparative studies were performed: (i) micrometer-derived area measurements in ten plastic tubes were compared to aOCT-derived area; (ii) aOCT-derived ... (Read Full Article)

    A Method Of Providing Quantitative Information About The Lower Airways Of A Lung (Wo 2009/059368) The present disclosure provides a method of providing quantitative information about a property of the lower airways of a lung using optical coherence tomography. The method comprises inserting a probe head of an anatomical optical coherence tomography device into the lower airways. Further, the method comprises directing light to, and receiving reflected light from, an internal wall portion of the lower airways. The light is suitable for optical coherence tomography. ...

    Robert A. McLaughlin, Julian J. Armstrong, Sven Becker et al. Anatomical optical coherence tomography (aOCT) is an endoscopic imaging modality that can be used to quantify size and shape of the upper airway. We report the application of respiratory gating to aOCT images. Our results show that respiratory gating can reduce motion artefact in upper airway images ... [Proc.
