OCT on a chip aims at high-quality retinal imaging

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) has become one of the most important techniques in ophthalmic diagnostics, as it is the only way to three-dimensionally visualize morphological changes in the layered structure of the retina at a high resolution. In addition, OCT is applied for countless medical an...

Zusammenfassung:Optical coherence tomography (OCT) has become one of the most important techniques in ophthalmic diagnostics, as it is the only way to three-dimensionally visualize morphological changes in the layered structure of the retina at a high resolution. In addition, OCT is applied for countless medical and technical purposes. Recent developments pave the way for small-footprint OCT systems at significantly reduced costs, thereby extending possible use cases. Now, it appears increasingly likely that, in the near future, OCT will find its way into many more industrial and medical applications, including disease monitoring at home.
