Abstract
Optical coherence tomography (OCT), first reported in 1991, has become indispensable for retinal imaging and clinical management of retinal disease. Yielding in vivo cross-sectional images with near-histological resolution, OCT can non-invasively reveal the subtlest quantitative features of macular and optic nerve head anatomy. OCT utilizes interference patterns of infrared light reconstructed to generate cross-sectional images of the retina in a variety of perspectives, analogous to the way ultrasonic images are generated.
