tailieunhanh - OPTICAL COHERENCE TOMOGRAPHY

In 1991, optical coherence tomography (OCT) was initially introduced to image the transpar‐ ent tissue of eyes at a level of resolution significantly greater than conventional ultrasound technique. OCT uses infrared light to produce images on a micrometer scale. The intensity of the reflected light is displayed as a false color or grey scale image. OCT imaging is analo‐ gous to ultrasound B mode imaging, except that it performs imaging by measuring the in‐ tensity of reflected or back scattered light rather than acoustic. | OPTICAL COHERENCE TOMOGRAPHY Edited by Masanori Kawasaki Optical Coherence Tomography http 56293 Edited by Masanori Kawasaki Contributors Martine Mauget-Faysse Benjamin Wolff Alexandre Matet Vivien Vasseur José-Alain Sahel Hironori Kitabata Takashi Akasaka Michael Leitner Alexandra Nemeth Elisabeth Leiss-Holzinger Karin Wiesauer Gunther Hannesschlager Robert James Lowe Ronald Gentile Nadiya Al Kharousi Bettina Heise Stefan E.
