Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Special Issue aims to collect works representing the state-of-the-art in OCT development and its application beyond ophthalmology, where it has traditionally been dominant.
Key aspects covered in the Special Issue include the following:
- AI-assisted OCT applications for improving clinical diagnosis;
- Functional OCT methods, such as angiography, Doppler OCT, and optical coherence elastography-focused on clinical diagnosis;
- New advances in the OCT technology, such as adaptive optics OCT (AO-OCT) for ophthalmology use;
- Multimodal imaging incorporating OCT with other techniques.
This issue seeks papers that will focus on clinical and preclinical applications in various fields like ophthalmology, dermatology, cardiology, neurology, dentistry, etc.
