Abstract

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is an emerging imaging modality which can generate high resolution, cross-sectional and three dimensional images of microstructure in biological systems.  OCT is analogous to ultrasound B mode imaging, except that it uses light instead of sound.  Imaging is performed by measuring the echo time delay of optical backscattering in the tissue as a function of transverse position.
