Handbook of Optical Coherence Tomography

This reference reviews applications of optical coherence tomography (OCT) in biology, medicine, engineering, and applied physics. The book summarizes technological advances that have led to the availability of viable imaging tools and modern methods of OCT for optical biopsy, surgical guidance, and quality control of advanced composites in situ. It discusses non-biological methods of OCT such as monitoring advanced composites and optical data storage; imaging concepts for dermatological, pharmacological, cosmetological, and dental applications; diagnostic procedures for posterior segments of the eye to prevent macular and optic nerve diseases, glaucoma, and retinal detachment; and more.
