Description
This book gives a broad treatment of the subject which will include 1)the optics, science, and physics needed to understand the technology
2)a description of applications with a critical look at how the technology will successfully address actual clinical need, and 3) a discussion
of delivery of OCT to the patient, FDA approval and comparisons with available competing technologies.
The required mathematical rigor
will be present where needed but be presented in such a way that it will not prevent non-scientists and non-engineers from gaining a
basic understanding of OCT and the applications as well as the issues of bringing the technology to the market.
Audience
optical engineers; biomedical and clinical scientists; clinicians; medical doctors; researchers; manufacturers of OCT devices.
