In this paper, we review the current state of technology development and clinical
applications of endoscopic optical coherence tomography (OCT). Key design and …

Remodeling of tissue, such as airway smooth muscle (ASM) and extracellular matrix, is
considered a key feature of airways disease. No clinically accepted diagnostic method is …

Rationale: Subglottic edema and acquired subglottic stenosis are potentially airway-
compromising sequelae in neonates following endotracheal intubation. At present, no …

The upper airway is a complex tissue structure that is prone to collapse. Current methods for
studying airway obstruction are inadequate in safety, cost, or availability, such as CT or MRI …

In modern medicine, nuclear scans, Positron Emission Tomography (PET), and Magnetic
Resonance Imaging(MRI) technology have been widely used to provide tissue morphology …

Background Acquired subglottic stenosis (SGS) most commonly results from prolonged
endotracheal intubation and is a diagnostic challenge in the intubated child. At present, no …

We present an automatic segmentation method for the delineation and quantitative
thickness measurement of multiple layers in endoscopic airway optical coherence …

Endoscopic airway optical coherence tomography (OCT) is an advanced imaging modality
capable of capturing the internal anatomy and geometry of the airway. Due to fiber-optic …

Automatic delineation and segmentation of airway structures from endoscopic optical
coherence tomography (OCT) images improve image analysis efficiency and thus has been …

Abstract Background/Objectives While upper airway obstruction is a common problem in the
pediatric population, the first-line treatment, adenotonsillectomy, fails in up to 20% of …
