Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) uses light waves to produce high-resolution cross-sectional images of biological tissues.
During an OCT procedure, near-infrared light is directed onto the tissue, and the backscattered light is measured to create detailed images.
OCT provides real-time, micron-scale resolution images of tissue structure and morphology.
OCT is commonly used in ophthalmology to diagnose retinal diseases, assess optic nerve health, and guide surgical procedures.
OCT is non-invasive and safe, with minimal discomfort to the patient during the procedure.
