    opticsinfobase.org (Nov 8 2008) Explore Article

    OCT has demonstrated considerable potential for a wide range of medical applications. Initial work was done in the time domain (TD-OCT) approach, but recent interest has been generated with spectral domain (SD-OCT) approaches. While SD-OCT offers higher data acquisition rates and no movable parts, we recently pointed out th eoretical inferior aspects to its performance relative to TD-OC T. In this paper we focus on specific limitations of swept source ... (Read Full Article)

    BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION As is known in the art, fiber optic endoscopy is typically conducted by transmitting an image through an array of fibers often referred to as a fiber bundle. While successful for a variety of medical and non-medical applications, utilization of an array of fibers to form the image imposes constraints on the cost, diameter, and flexibility of the imaging device. In an attempt to overcome these ... (Read Full Article)

    Abstract Background  The purpose of this study is to evaluate the diagnostic value of optical coherence tomography (Stratus OCT) and scanning laser ophthalmoscope (SLO) microperimetry in patients with Stargardt’s disease (STGD), and the correlation between macular morphology and visual function in these patients. Methods  Twenty-two patients with STGD (mean age 44 years, range 11 to 71 years) and 20 age-matched healthy control subjects were included in the study. OCT imaging was performed using six ...

    Background: Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a cross-sectional, high-resolution imaging modality that has been shown to accurately differentiate esophageal specialized intestinal metaplasia (SIM) from gastric cardia at the squamocolumnar junction (SCJ) and diagnose high-grade dysplasia and intramucosal carcinoma in patients with SIM. The clinical utility of OCT has been limited, however, by its inability to acquire images over large areas.Objective: The aim of this study was to use recently developed ... (Read Full Article)
