Optical Coherence Tomography: Transforming Precision Imaging in Modern Medicine
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) has emerged as one of the most impactful imaging technologies in modern healthcare. By using light waves instead of sound or radiation, OCT enables clinicians to visualize internal tissue structures with remarkable clarity. Its non-invasive nature, combined with high-resolution imaging, has made it a trusted diagnostic tool across multiple medical specialties.
At its core, OCT functions by measuring the echo time delay and intensity of reflected light from biological tissues. This process generates cross-sectional images that resemble microscopic tissue slices, allowing clinicians to observe minute structural changes that are often invisible through conventional imaging methods. Because the procedure is painless and quick, it can be performed repeatedly without discomfort or risk to patients.
One of the most prominent applications of Optical Coherence Tomography is in ophthalmology. Eye care professionals rely on OCT to examine retinal layers, optic…
