OCT Atlas of the Head & Neck

Optical Coherence Tomography is an emerging imaging modality that is established in many clinical disciplines in medicine, most prominently in the management of retinal diseases. In Otolaryngology, OCT is just beginning to be used by more surgeons, primarily in academic medical centers.

At UC Irvine we have been performing OCT studies of the head and neck in our patients since the early 2000s.

We established this website as an on-line resource for those clinicians and scientists interested in learning more about the structure of various tissues within the head and neck that are evaluated by OCT.

This OCT website was established by Allen Foulad, a medical student at UC Irvine, and is the fruit of his very hard labor. We hope that you will enjoy looking through this on-line atlas.
