Optical Coherence Tomography

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a non-invasive imaging technique providing high-resolution cross-sectional images of tissues, primarily used in ophthalmology but with expanding applications in other fields. Current research focuses on improving image quality through deep learning-based denoising and reconstruction methods, often employing U-Net and Transformer architectures, as well as developing advanced segmentation algorithms for precise identification of anatomical structures and biomarkers. These advancements are significantly impacting disease diagnosis and prognosis, particularly in retinal diseases like age-related macular degeneration and glaucoma, by enabling automated analysis and quantitative assessment of disease progression.
