Title:
REAL-TIME, THREE-DIMENSIONAL OPTICAL COHERENCE TOMOGRAPHY SYSTEM
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2012/088320
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A real-time, three-dimensional optical coherence tomography system includes an optical interferometer configured to illuminate a target with light and to receive light returned from the target; an optical detection system arranged in an optical path of light from the optical interferometer after being returned from the target, the optical detection system providing output data signals; and a data processing system adapted to communicate with the optical detection system to receive the output data signals. The data processing system includes a parallel processor configured to process the output data signals to provide real-time, three-dimensional optical coherence tomography images of the target.
