Role of optical coherence tomography for flexor tendon imaging in a rabbit model

Role of optical coherence tomography for flexor tendon imaging in a rabbit model

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) was used to monitor various flexor tendon states including tendon at rest, normal tendons during loading, tendon microstructural damage post loading, and healing tendons at 0, 3, and 8 weeks time points.Potential uses include assessing microstructural damage, monit...

Zusammenfassung:Optical coherence tomography (OCT) was used to monitor various flexor tendon states including tendon at rest, normal tendons during loading, tendon microstructural damage post loading, and healing tendons at 0, 3, and 8 weeks time points.Potential uses include assessing microstructural damage, monitoring the quality of suture repair, and tendon healing. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
