We describe an elastographic method to circumferentially-resolve airway wall compliance
using endoscopic, anatomic optical coherence tomography (aOCT) combined with an …

The trachea is a complex tissue made up of hyaline cartilage, fibrous tissue, and muscle
fibers. Currently, the knowledge of microscopic structural organization of these components …

Objectives/Hypothesis To establish the utility of anatomic optical coherence tomography
(aOCT) in evaluating internal nasal valve (INV). Study Design Anatomic specimen imaging …

Endoscopic optical coherence tomography of large airways poses unique challenges. A
hybrid lens is described that consists of a section of coreless fiber and graded index fiber …

Objective: Photoacoustic tomography (PAT) and multispectral optoacoustic tomography
(MSOT) are evolving technologies that are capable of delivering real-time, high-resolution …

Objective measurement of the nasal valve region is valuable for the assessment of
functional rhinoplasty surgical outcomes. Anatomical optical coherence tomography (aOCT) …

As an important biomedical imaging method, endoscopic optical coherence tomography
(OCT) is necessary to check its performance regularly. The ordinary plane phantoms are …

Quantitative methods for assessing the severity of inhalation (burn) injury are needed to aid
in treatment decisions. We hypothesize that it is possible to assess the severity of injuries on …

Diagnosis of inhalation injury has been clinically challenging. Currently, assessment of
inhalation injury relies on subjective clinical exams and bronchoscopy, which provides little …

A narrowing, either of the nasal airway or the large airways, causes impaired airflow and
results in respiratory insufficiency. Imaging the airways is important for the diagnostic …
