Discussion on application of optical coherence tomography for anterior segment imaging

Abstract

It is very important for ophthalmic clinical diagnosis and research to obtain anterior segment information by non-invasive means. With the progress of science and technology, the application of optical coherence tomography(OCT)on clinical practice and scientific research of ophthalmology has been widely accepted. It not only can achieve precise imaging of an organization structure, but also can do some quantitative analysis for the assessment of clinical treatment and follow-up as an irreplaceable information.
