Time Domain versus Spectral Domain OCT in the Diagnosis and Treatment of Angioid Streaks Andrea Lora, MD
Since the introduction of OCT in 1991, it has become an invaluable tool in ophthalmic practice. OCT provides cross-sectional images of the retina using the reflectivity of light waves to obtain a profile of the retinal layers. The most widely used system is the Stratus® OCT 3 (Carl Zeiss Meditec, Inc.). This is based on time domain (TD) detection technology. The newest extension of OCT uses spectral domain (SD) technology. SD-OCT has improved image quality and acquisition. This allows for a larger set of actual data points allowing for accurate spatial correlations and mapping of individual retinal layers over a larger area in a shorter period of time. more… |

Optical Coherence Tomography: New Applications Optical coherence tomography (OCT), developed in the early 1990's, has become a prominent biomedical tissue imaging technique because of its micrometer resolution and cross sectional imaging capabilities. OCT allows extremely high quality, micrometer resolution, 3-D images of biological tissues through optical signal acquisition and processing. As opposed to confocal microscopy, OCT uses near infrared light and is able to penetrate about 3 times as deep into the scattering medium. more… |
