Ex vivo imaging of human pathologies with integrated optical coherence tomography (OCT) and optical coherence microscopy (OCM)

Year: 2009

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: We report an imaging study using integrated 3D-OCT and OCM for the assessment of various human thyroid and breast pathologies. The 3D-OCT data sets enable en face projection imaging, which provides large field of view with uniform focus and signal level, while OCM provides high magnification that enables cellular resolution imaging. We have demonstrated that the integrated 3D-OCT and OCM technology provide a substantial improvement over standard OCT for the visualization of tissue pathology and can serve as a useful imaging tool in the clinical settings.
