Revolutionizing medical imaging: a comprehensive review of optical coherence tomography (OCT)

Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) has become a ground-breaking method in medical imaging. This study covers all aspects of OCT, including its concepts, uses, and the considerable influence it has had on healthcare. OCT provides high-resolution, non-invasive imaging, making it a useful tool in ophthalmology, cardiology, dermatology, and other medical specialities. The underlying concepts underpinning OCT, such as its functioning principles, imaging modalities, and the most recent breakthroughs in the area were all looked at thoroughly. The study also goes through OCT's clinical uses, emphasizing its significance in the early identification, diagnosis, and monitoring of a variety of medical disorders. Furthermore, the potential future paths and advances in OCT technology that have the potential to improve diagnostic capabilities and widen clinical utility are also investigated. This thorough review seeks to offer a clearer knowledge of OCT's importance in modern medicine and to stimulate more study and development in this interesting topic.
