Optical Coherence Tomography Optical coherence tomography or
OCT, is a medical imaging method created by Massachusetts
General Hospital researchers in 1990, for deep tissue
examination. Using a laser tip that is continually rotating, OCT
is able to delve deep into body tissues with focussed light, and
image what it finds by measuring the wavelengths returned from
organic material. It is somewhat slow, and is best used on non-
living material, due to the high noise ratio produced by light
waves bouncing off of rapidly moving blood cells in the layer
being imaged, and in those above. Below, we offer a selection of
