Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is an elegant technology for imaging of tissues and organs and has been established for clinical use for around a decade. Thus, it is used in vivo but can also serve as a valuable ex vivo imaging tool in experimental research. Here, a brief overview is given with a focus on an ex vivo application of OCT. Image and video examples of freshly obtained murine lungs are included. The main advantage of OCT for ex vivo analysis is the non-contact, non-invasive, and non-destructive fast acquisition of a three-dimensional data set with micrometer-resolution.
光学相干断层扫描（OCT）是一种用于成像组织和器官的出色技术，已经在临床应用中确立了大约十年。因此，它可以在体内使用，也可以作为实验研究中的有价值的离体成像工具。本文简要概述了 OCT 的离体应用。文中包括新鲜获得的小鼠肺的图像和视频示例。OCT 用于离体分析的主要优点是可以快速、非接触、非侵入性且无损地获取具有微米分辨率的三维数据集。
