Book Chapter Description

The fundamental aspects of optical coherence tomography and a brief description of its applications in medicine and biology are presented. The impact of multiple scattering in tissues on OCT imaging performance, and developments in reducing the overwhelming multiple scattering effects and improving imaging capabilities by the use of immersion technique are discussed. A novel technique based on the use of biocompatible and hyperosmotic chemical agents to impregnate the tissue and to enhance the OCT images is described. The mechanisms for improvements in imaging depth and contrast are discussed, primarily through the experimental examples.
