Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a noninvasive, high-resolution, high-potential imaging method that has recently been introduced into medical investigations. A growing number of studies have used this technique in the field of gastroenterology in order to assist classical analyses. Lately, 3D-imaging and Doppler capabilities have been developed in different configurations, which make this type of investigation more attractive. This paper reviews the principles and characteristics of OCT and Doppler-OCT in connection with analyses of the detection of normal and pathological structures, and with the possibility to investigate angiogenesis in the gastrointestinal tract.
光学相干断层扫描（OCT）是一种非侵入性、高分辨率、高潜力的成像方法，最近已被引入医学研究领域。越来越多的研究在胃肠病学领域使用这项技术来辅助经典分析。最近，不同配置中已经开发出了 3D 成像和多普勒功能，这使得这种类型的研究更具吸引力。本文综述了 OCT 和多普勒 OCT 的原理和特点，以及它们在检测正常和病理结构方面的分析，以及在胃肠道中研究血管生成的可能性。
