Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmic imaging technologies
  • Biomedical optics
  • Retinal imaging

Context:

  • Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is an advanced imaging modality.
  • It offers noninvasive, noncontact, and repetitive cross-sectional visualization of ocular tissues.
  • OCT provides pseudo-histological images, enabling detailed tissue analysis.

Purpose:

  • To describe the principles and applications of Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT).
  • To highlight OCT's utility in diagnosing various retinal pathologies.
  • To establish OCT as a valuable tool in ophthalmology.

Summary:

  • Optical coherence tomography (OCT) utilizes low-level infrared light, an interferometer, and a computerized system.
  • It generates high-depth resolution tomographs of ocular tissue, analogous to ultrasound B-scans.

  • Key applications include diagnosing central serous retinopathy, macular holes, chronic macular edema, and age-related macular degeneration.

    • Impact:

    • Facilitates early and accurate diagnosis of sight-threatening retinal conditions.
    • Enhances understanding of ocular tissue microstructure noninvasively.
    • Supports improved patient management and treatment strategies for retinal diseases.
