Optical Coherence Tomography Aids Cancer Detection

摘要

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) has been applied successfully in ophthalmology since the early 1990s, a success story triggering research efforts in the imaging of early epithelial cancers Typical nonophthalmic systems achieve a resolution of 10 to 20 um in dense tissue, but imaging depth is limited to little more than 1 mm.
