Cross Polarization Optical Coherence Tomography for diagnosis of oral soft tissues

摘要

We consider the capabilities of cross-polarization OCT (CP OCT) focused on comparison of images resulting from cross-polarization and co-polarization scattering simultaneously for diagnosis of oral soft tissues. CP OCT was done for 35 patients with dental implants and 30 patients with inflammatory intestine diseases. Our study showed good diagnostic capabilities of CP for detecting soft tissue pathology in the oral cavity. The cross-polarized imagesrndemonstrate the ability of tissue to depolarize. demonstrates clinical capabilities for early diagnosis ofrninflammatory intestine diseases by the state of oral cavity mucosa and for early detection of gingivitis in patients above implant.
