4. Optical coherence tomography

   Explore Article SpringerLink Home (Apr 22 2010) Dermatology

   (Article in German) Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a high-resolution imaging method for in vivo investigation of the human skin. In cross-sectional images of several millimeters length with a penetration depth of the light signal into deeper parts of the dermis, architectural details of the upper skin layers can be assessed and monitored non-invasively over time. The resolution is not high enough to visualize cellular details. Several studies have been ... (Read Full Article)

   Explore Article SPIE Digital Library (Mar 23 2010)

   Nearly real-time visualization of 3-D volumes is crucial for the use of optical coherence tomography (OCT) during microsurgery. With an ultrahigh speed spectral domain OCT coupled to a surgical microscope, on-line display of 7.2 rendered volumes at 87 megapixels per second is demonstrated. Calculating the A-scans from the spectra is done on a quad-core personal computer (PC), while dedicated software for the 3-D rendering is executed on a high performance ... (Read Full Article)

7. Optical Coherence Tomography of Human Kidney

   Explore Article The Journal of Urology (Mar 18 2010) Urology

   Purpose To determine histopathological status of living human kidneys in real time and a noninvasive fashion would be a significant advancement in renal disease diagnosis. Recently we reported that optical coherence tomography has the requisite high spatial resolution to noninvasively determine histopathological changes in rodent kidneys with μm scale resolution. We established whether optical coherence tomography could 1) effectively penetrate the connective tissue capsule surrounding human kidneys, 2) provide a ... (Read Full Article)

    Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is a non-invasive imaging modality that acquires cross sectional images of tissue in-vivo. It accelerates skin diagnosis by eliminating invasive biopsy and laborious histology in the process. Dermatologists have widely used it for looking at morphology of skin diseases such as psoriasis, dermatitis, basal cell carcinoma etc. Skin scientists have also successfully used it for looking at differences in epidermal thickness and its underlying structure with ...
