Course Objective

Two-fold; (1) to develop a fundamental understanding of optical interferometry, optical coherence tomography (OCT), types of OCT, and diagnostic applications in research and clinical settings, and (2) to provide graduate students a broad overview on the cutting-edge researches in the area of OCT.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   The students will understand the basic optics of optical coherence tomography (OCT).
2   The students will be able to describe the principles of light propagation in biological tissue.
3   The students will be able to discuss the types of OCT.
4   The students will be able to list the major OCT methods in the clinical practice and research settings.
5   The students will be able to explain the principles of scanning patterns in OCT.
6   The students will understand the advantages and limitations of current OCT technology for diagnostic and monitoring applications in clinics.
7   The students will appreciate novel technologies and applications from cutting-edge research projects in optical coherence tomography.
