About This Webinar
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a noninvasive technique providing cross-sectional images of tissue microstructures and functional information with high resolution. Subhash reports on the development of an integrated multimodal functional OCT and angiographic imaging system with a light-induced autofluorescence (LIAF) imaging mode capable of providing anatomical, functional, and molecular imaging for in vivo clinical oral imaging applications. The OCT imaging is based on a high-speed, long-range vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) source with linearized frequency, while the LIAF is based on a blue excitation light source (405nm) with an RGB digital camera and a 450-nm cut-on broadband optical filter. He demonstrates the clinical imaging feasibility of the system using an extraoral patient imaging interface and a compact hand-held intraoral imaging system for the assessment of various soft- and hard-tissue conditions, including caries, hypomineralization, dental biofilm, gingival tissue microstructural changes, and the visualization and quantification of gingival microvasculature.
