The researcher can use Optical coherence tomography a near-infrared diode to emit light that
can produce images of the specimen under investigation and provide information about tissue
abnormalities without causing damage.
can produce images of the specimen under investigation and provide information about tissue
abnormalities without causing damage.
The researcher can use Optical coherence tomography endoscopic imaging to improve diagnosis
and treatment of airway and pleural malignancy. In the events of burn injury and smoke
inhalation injury, the Optical coherence tomography can determine the change of the airway
tissues and severity of airway injury.
During endoscopic procedure the lesions will be biopsied and prepared by standard histologic
methods. The Optical coherence tomography endoscopic imaging can measured histologic of the
tissue samples and compared to standard histologic examination. The Optical coherence
tomography endoscopic imaging can measured the epithelial thickness and compared to visual
inspection of the mucosa on bronchoscopy.
