Time Domain Optical Coherence Tomography

Time Domain Optical Coherence Tomography (TD-OCT) is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses light waves to create detailed cross-sectional images of biological tissues, such as the eye. It works by directing a beam of light into the tissue and measuring how long it takes for the light to reflect back from different depths. This information generates high-resolution images of the internal structures, helping doctors diagnose and monitor eye conditions like glaucoma or macular degeneration. TD-OCT is valued for its speed and precision in providing detailed tissue anatomy without the need for harmful radiation or dyes.
