Abstract:
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) has become one of indispensable imaging techniques in ophthalmology. OCT makes far-reaching influence on correct diagnosis, disease assessment, and prognosis evaluation after surgery in various ocular diseases. At present, the application scope of OCT is further expended and gradually being applied to a variety of ocular surgeries. This application is named as intraoperative OCT (iOCT). iOCT not only helps us to come to a better understanding and recognition of ocular diseases from a new perspective, but also influences our decision making of the surgical plan, thus improving safety and success rate of ocular surgery to a great extent. We reviewed the history of iOCT and its application in ocular surgery in this paper.

The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...
