Ultrathin OCT endoscope developed for retinal surgery imaging
Medical Xpress1 min read74 words
Physicists from the Applied Optics Group at the University of Kent, in collaboration with partners from King's College London and Moorfields Eye Hospital, have developed a new ultrathin, forward-viewing endoscope. This device is designed to capture optical coherence tomography (OCT) images of tissue located up to approximately 1 mm beneath its surface.
