Abstract :
We review some of our recent progress in using optical coherence tomography (OCT) for high resolution brain imaging. Structural brain imaging using OCT permits the investigation of brain structure with 20 μm resolution, allowing us to identify specific features and structures in the cerebral cortex, the differentiation of normal versus abnormal cerebral morphology, and the limitations on penetration depth placed on OCT by scattering in different types of neurotissues
