High resolution Optical Coherence Tomography for optical biopsy and non-distractive testing

Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) has emerged as a new non-invasive modality for high resolution cross sectional imaging. Sharing the same approach with ultrasound imaging, OCT uses light instead of sound. Combined with fast scanning mechanism, OCT can acquire images of 10 billion (1000 Crore) volume points in less than a second at few microns resolution. The properties such as real time, non invasive, high resolution and safe have made OCT a preferred choice among clinicians for diagnosis of several kinds of diseases in ophthalmology, cardiology and cancer detection. 

In this talk, I will discuss about the basics of OCT and different types of OCT. A major part of the talk will be devoted to the work that I have done on OCT but for the sake of completeness and show you the awesomeness of OCT, I will also include the work from other researches. In general I will talk about the application of OCT in eye imaging, intravascular imaging, cancer diagnosis and non distractive testing of materials.
