Fourier Domain Optical Coherence Tomography

Fourier Domain Optical Coherence Tomography (FD-OCT) is a non-invasive imaging technology that captures detailed cross-sectional images of biological tissues, such as the eye. It works by emitting light into the tissue and measuring the reflected light signals. These signals are then processed using Fourier analysis, transforming the data into high-resolution images quickly and efficiently. FD-OCT allows clinicians to examine tissue structures in great detail, aiding in diagnosis and treatment planning without discomfort or risk to the patient. It’s widely used in ophthalmology to assess eye health and detect conditions like glaucoma or macular degeneration.
