The 36 pages that link to Optical coherence tomography, each with the reason it gives.

• Signal-to-noise ratioRelated: Its image contrast and penetration depend on detected light relative to background noise.

• Medical imagingRelated: It offers fine superficial detail, especially in the eye, but limited depth.

• InterferometryRelated: It uses interferometric comparison to locate reflections within tissue and other samples.

• Michelson interferometerRelated: Interferometric comparison of sample and reference light reveals depth-resolved reflections.

• BirefringenceRelated: Polarization-sensitive versions use birefringence to map tissue organization.

• GlaucomaRelated: It measures retinal nerve-fiber and ganglion-cell layers affected by glaucoma.

• Diabetic retinopathyRelated: OCT measures retinal thickening and fluid, especially in diabetic macular edema.

• Optical path lengthRelated: Interference measures optical delays that encode depth and refractive-index structure.

• Optic nerveRelated: It measures retinal nerve-fiber layers used to assess optic nerve damage.

• Age-related macular degenerationRelated: It reveals fluid, drusen, and tissue loss that guide diagnosis and follow-up.

• Retinal ganglion cellRelated: It can measure retinal nerve-fiber and ganglion-cell layers affected by disease.

• Retinitis pigmentosaRelated: It can measure remaining photoreceptor layers and identify complications such as macular edema.

• OphthalmologyRelated: Its retinal scans reveal fine structural changes that guide diagnosis and follow-up.

• ElectroretinographyCompared with: OCT shows retinal anatomy; ERG measures function, so the tests can reveal different abnormalities.

• Absorption coefficientRelated: Absorption limits how deeply light can probe tissue.

• Fovea (retina)Related: It reveals foveal layers and helps diagnose structural abnormalities.

• Lateral geniculate nucleusRelated: Retinal measurements can help assess upstream changes relevant to geniculate input.

• Visual field testCompared with: It images structure that field testing measures through visual performance.

• AlbinismRelated: It can reveal foveal underdevelopment associated with albinism.

• Coherence (physics)Broader topic: It exploits limited temporal coherence to select reflections from particular depths.

• Coherence lengthRelated: Its axial resolution depends on the short coherence length of its light source.

• OphthalmoscopyCompared with: It reveals retinal layers in cross-section rather than relying only on a viewed fundus image.

• Mach–Zehnder interferometerRelated: Related interferometric path comparisons help locate reflections within samples.

• Optic neuritisRelated: It can track retinal nerve-fiber and ganglion-cell loss after optic-nerve inflammation.

• Stokes parametersRelated: Polarization-sensitive variants use Stokes measurements to track tissue birefringence and depolarization.

• Leber's hereditary optic neuropathyRelated: It can document retinal nerve fiber and ganglion-cell changes during LHON.

• Idiopathic intracranial hypertensionRelated: It helps document and monitor optic-disc swelling and nerve-fiber changes.

• Optical isolatorRelated: Isolators can protect its light source from reflections returned by the sample and optics.

• Roy J. GlauberRelated: Its use of coherence illustrates the broader experimental reach of optical coherence theory.

• Vitreous bodyRelated: It can reveal vitreomacular attachment and traction at the retinal surface.

• Blurred visionRelated: It can expose retinal structural changes associated with central blur.

• MonochromacyRelated: Retinal imaging can help assess structural changes associated with cone disorders.

• Optical spectrometerRelated: Some systems use spectrometers to recover depth information from wavelength-resolved interference.

• PhotonicsBroader topic: It shows how controlled light can reveal internal structure without cutting tissue.

• Eye diseasesRelated: It reveals structural damage and fluid that may be difficult to see on examination.

• Stargardt diseaseRelated: It can show thinning and disruption in the macula.
