time-domain OCT

Time-domain optical coherence tomography (OCT) is an imaging technique used to capture high-resolution, cross-sectional images of biological tissues, such as the eye. It works by shining a light source into the tissue and measuring how long it takes for the light to reflect back. By analyzing these reflections, OCT creates detailed images that reveal the structure and layers of the tissue, similar to how an ultrasound produces images of internal organs. This method is valuable in diagnosing and monitoring various medical conditions, especially in ophthalmology, as it provides precise information without invasive procedures.
