Global Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) For Healthcare And Life Science Market Definition

Optical coherence tomography is a high-resolution cross-sectional imaging technique that is still evolving. OCT is a technique for imaging tissue structure on a micron scale in situ and in real-time using light. An optical biopsy is performed using an OCT, which is a non-invasive imaging technique. It's used in situations where traditional imaging techniques aren't appropriate. OCT is based on fiber optics and can be used in conjunction with instruments such as endoscopes, catheters, surgical probes, and laparoscopes to image the body.

Several functional OCT methods are being investigated to provide quantitative information and improve diagnosis performance, including polarization-sensitive OCT, Doppler OCT, and OCT combined with fluorescence. The goal is to enable the production of compact, low-cost, and portable OCT systems for use in basic applications such as dermatology and dentistry.
