About Michael R. Hee

Michael R. Hee

Dr. Michael Hee provides comprehensive care for numerous medical and surgical eye diseases. Dr. Hee has extensive experience with many treatment options, including small incision cataract surgery, laser refractive surgery, diabetic retinopathy treatments, macular degeneration treatments, eyelid surgery, and medical, laser, and surgical treatment for glaucoma.   After graduating from Stanford University, Dr. Hee received his M.D. from Harvard Medical School and his Ph.D. in electrical engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Dr. Hee trained in ophthalmology and laser vision correction procedures at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF). While earning a Ph.D. at MIT, Dr. Hee was significantly involved in the development of optical coherence tomography, or OCT, which is a new technology used to obtain high-resolution images of the retina and optic nerve.   As medical director of iScience Surgical Corporation, a revolutionary, technology-driven start-up company that specializes in creating new tactics for minimally invasive, image-guided microsurgery, Dr. Hee stays on the cutting edge of ophthalmic diagnostic and therapeutic instrumentation.   Dr. Hee also serves as a clinical instructor in ophthalmology at UCSF.

    Explore Article DSpace@MIT (Feb 1 1997) Ophthalmology , Student Theses

    Optical coherence tomography of the eye (Thesis) Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is a new technique for high-resolution, cross-sectional imaging of tissue in which the time-of-flight delay of light reflected from internal tissue structures is resolved with high precision using interferometer. Tomographic images are obtain which are analogous to those provided by ultrasound except that image contrast relies on differences in optical rather than acoustic properties of tissue. The use of light rather than sound enable higher resolution ... (Read Full Article)

    Explore Article Science/AAAS (Nov 15 1991) Cardiology , Ophthalmology

    A technique called optical coherence tomography (OCT) has been developed for noninvasive cross-sectional imaging in biological systems. OCT uses low-coherence interferometry to produce a two-dimensional image of optical scattering from internal tissue microstructures in a way that is analogous to ultrasonic pulse-echo imaging. OCT has longitudinal and lateral spatial resolutions of a few micrometers and can detect reflected signals as small as approximately 10(-10) of the incident optical power. Tomographic ...
