چکیده
Optical coherence tomography is a novel imaging technique providing high-resolution bidimensional images of tissue microstructures. Several studies have been published on the use of this technique in different fields of medicine, particularly ophthalmology. There are very few studies in the field of otolaryngology. This paper presents various applications of optical coherence tomography in the different sub-specialties of otolaryngology, as well as the benefits of this technique over traditional diagnostic methods.

Clinical Applications of Optical Coherence Tomography in Ophthalmology
Assessment of the peripapillary nerve fiber layer and macular thickness can be determined in ophthalmology using optical coherence tomography (OCT). Decreased nerve fiber layer thickness and macular ganglion cell thickness in optic nerve ischemia have been correlated with visual field loss. OCT allows deep optic nerve head evaluation which helps understand pathophysiology of diseases. Furtherm...

متن کاملIn vivo optical coherence tomography of the human oral cavity and oropharynx.
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is an evolving imaging modality that combines interferometry with low-coherence light to produce high-resolution tissue imaging. Cross-sectional in vivo images were obtained using an OCT device consisting of a Michelson interferometer, 1.3-microm broadband light source, and a handheld fiberoptic imaging probe. Image pixel resolution approached 10 microm. The m...
