Application of Scattering in OCT

This lecture by the instructor covers the application of light scattering in Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) for tissue imaging. It explains the principles of OCT, including interferometry and coherence gating, to achieve high-resolution 3D imaging in highly scattering media. Various technologies used in OCT, such as time of flight and photon migration, are discussed. The lecture also delves into the concepts of coherence and interferometry, emphasizing their importance in OCT imaging. Different light sources for OCT, including continuous sources and pulsed lasers, are explored. The lecture concludes with a detailed overview of the medical applications of OCT in ophthalmology, dermatology, cardiology, and endoscopy.
