Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is an emerging optical technology that has shown great promise for early cancer detection. Using backreflected light to visualize tissue microstructure, OCT can provide information on nuclear size and shape, nuclear-to-cytoplasmic ratio, and the organization and st …

The tremendous value of OCT for effective detection and diagnosis of cancer was first demonstrated through in vitro cell imaging, followed by a series of in vitro/ex vivo and in vivo studies on a broad spectrum of malignancies including breast cancer, brain cancer, lung cancer, gastrointestinal (GI) cancer, bladder cancer, skin cancer, oral ...

In ocular oncology, OCT provides axial resolution to approximately 7 microns with cross-sectional images of the retina, delivering valuable information on the effects of intraocular tumors on the retinal architecture.

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a technique which has been widely evaluated during the past decades. This review aims to determine the clinical usefulness of OCT during cancer interventions focussing on qualitative features, quantitative features and the diagnostic value of …

Apr 5, 2012 · Recently, an array of OCT-based imaging tools that have been developed for preclinical intravital cancer imaging applications has yielded exciting new capabilities to probe and to monitor...

Intravital microscopy (IVM) and optical coherency tomography (OCT) are high-resolution optical imaging tools for in vivo cancer studies. Both techniques allow visualization of cancers in living subjects at subcellular-scale resolutions.

Apr 3, 2009 · Using an intracranial glioma model, we have recently shown that time domain optical coherence tomography (OCT) allows discrimination of normal brain, diffusely invaded brain tissue, and solid tumor. OCT imaging allowed acquisition of 2D and 3D data arrays for multiplanar analysis of the tumor to brain interface.

OCT imaging has been used to image a broad spectrum of malignancies, including those arising in the breast, brain, bladder, the gastrointestinal, respiratory, and reproductive tracts, the skin, and oral cavity, among others.

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a non- invasive optical imaging technique that uses low-power infrared laser light to image up to 2 mm beneath the skin surface. The clinician can obtain real-time images of the architecture of the skin without pretreatment or gels.

Dec 22, 2017 · OCT imaging has been used to image a broad spectrum of malignancies, including those arising in the breast, brain, bladder, the gastrointestinal, respiratory, and reproductive tracts, the skin, and oral cavity, among others.
