Abstract

Past studies used the VCSEL OCTs to image neonatal upper airways. However, due to manufacturing difficulties, the optimal focal length of the probe for VCSEL OCTs has yet to be determined. To determine this, both animal tracheas (duck and rabbit) and in vivo intubated neonates' upper airways were imaged with different probe focal lengths. In this study, the optimal VCSEL OCT probe focal lengths were provided for better image quality.
