This contemporary reference presents a comprehensive review of the most recent applications of optical coherence tomography (OCT) in biology, medicine, engineering, and applied physics-summarizing technological advances that led to the availability of viable imaging tools and modern methods of OCT for optical biopsy, surgical guidance, and quality control of advanced composites in situ.

Groups biological applications by topic-from developmental biology to major organ systems Presents a comprehensive review of the most recent applications of optical coherence tomography (OCT) in biology, medicine, engineering, and applied physics. Summarizes technological advances that led to the availability of viable imaging tools and modern methods of OCT for optical biopsy, surgical guidance, and quality control of advanced composites in situ. The Handbook of Optical Coherence Tomography discusses nonbiological methods of OCT such as monitoring advanced composites and optical data storage new imaging concepts for dermatological, pharmacological, cosmetological, and dental applications Contemporary diagnostic procedures for posterior segments of the eye to prevent macular and optic nerve diseases, glaucoma, and retinal detachment With contributions from over 60 international authorities, the Handbook of Optical Coherence Tomography is an essential source for optical, biomedical, and materials engineers; applied physicists; biochemists and biologists; and upper-level undergraduate and graduate students in these disciplines.
