Endoscopic optical coherence tomography, also intravascular optical coherence tomography is a catheter-based imaging application of optical coherence tomography (OCT). [1] It is capable of acquiring high-resolution images from inside a blood vessel using optical fibers and laser technology .
Endomicroscopy is a technique for obtaining histology-like images from inside the human body in real-time, [1] [2] [3] a process known as ‘optical biopsy’. [4] [5] It generally refers to fluorescence confocal microscopy, although multi-photon microscopy and optical coherence tomography have also been adapted for endoscopic use.
Optical coherence tomogram of a fingertip. It is possible to observe the sweat glands, having "corkscrew appearance" Interferometric reflectometry of biological tissue, especially of the human eye using short-coherence-length light (also referred to as partially-coherent, low-coherence, or broadband, broad-spectrum, or white light) was investigated in parallel by multiple groups worldwide ...

Angle-resolved low-coherence interferometry (a/LCI) is an emerging [when?] biomedical imaging technology which uses the properties of scattered light to measure the average size of cell structures, including cell nuclei. The technology shows promise as a clinical tool for in situ detection of dysplastic, or precancerous tissue.
An endoscopy is a procedure used in medicine to look inside the body. [1] The endoscopy procedure uses an endoscope to examine the interior of a hollow organ or cavity of the body. Unlike many other medical imaging techniques, endoscopes are inserted directly into the organ.
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a technique that displays images of the tissue by using the backscattered light. [ citation needed ] Not only conserving the excellence of OCT, doppler optical coherence tomography also combines the doppler effect principle as a whole, which result in tomographic images with high resolution.
The optical system consists of complex microscopic optical instruments, which are difficult to manufacture and assemble. [2] Therefore, the tool is expensive. [3] CLE is mostly used in combination with other techniques instead of replacing conventional endoscopy with biopsy. [7] CLE can only serve as a complementary to the traditional biopsy.
