Abstract

This chapter is devoted to the description of the basic principles of data acquisition of the Optical Coherence Tomography imaging technique. The physical mechanisms of the tissue optics are detailed, while the architecture of the OCT system is provided, emphasizing on both the TD-OCT and FD-OCT. Then, after discussing about the OCT image resolution, a parametric comparison of OCT with regard to IVUS imaging technique is attempted. Finally, the limitations of the technique are described, along with the safety of its application to the clinical practice.
