    GlossaryOptical Coherence Tomography

    non-invasive imaging technique using light waves for tissue cross-sections

    Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses light waves to take cross-sectional pictures of tissues, such as the retina in the eye or skin layers. It provides high-resolution images that help in diagnosing and monitoring conditions like macular degeneration, glaucoma, and even skin disorders, making it a valuable tool in both ophthalmology and dermatology.
