Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a non-contact imaging technique which generates cross-sectional images of tissue with high resolution. Therefore it is especially valuable in organs, where traditional microscopic tissue diagnosis by means of biopsy is not available—such as the human eye. Since OCT is completely noninvasive, it provides in vivo images without impacting the tissue that is imaged. Fast scanning rates and quick signal processing allows for image visualization in real time and at video rate. ... the resolution of OCT is much higher than that of other medical imaging methods like ultrasound or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). 3, record 1, English, - optical%20coherence%20tomography
