Abstract
Since its invention in the late ‘80s and early ‘90s, optical coherence interferometry (OCI) and its imaging version, optical coherence tomography (OCT), techniques experienced rapid scientific and technological advancements allowing high-resolution imaging and analysis of tissues and cells in three dimensions, with micrometer-level resolution and with speeds approaching and recently exceeding video rate. The unique capabilities of OCI and OCT to assess tissues, coupled with their noninvasive and contrast agent-free nature has resulted in a wide variety of exciting biomedical applications across the clinical spectrum, including ophthalmology, cardiology, and dentistry, among others. As a result, many labs and more than 40 OCT start-up companies currently invest significant resources for new OCT technology and product developments, for both preclinical and clinical use.
