   Abstract:
   Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a powerful new technique for noninvasive imaging of subsurface biological tissue microstructure. The basic principles of OCT and initial clinical results are reviewed. Several new advances to OCT technology are described which have enabled a new class of clinical applications to be considered. These include high-speed scanning technology (including novel improvements to the interferometer topology to optimize image SNR for a given source power), and functional imaging extensions of OCT including Doppler flow imaging
