Optical coherence tomography has emerged as valuable imaging modalityin ophthalmology and other fields by enabling high-resolution three-dimensional imaging of tissue. In this paper, we review recent progress in the field of contrast-enhanced optical coherence tomography (OCT). We discuss exogenous and endogenous sources of OCT contrast, focusing on their use with standard OCT systems as well as emerging OCT-based imaging modalities. We include advances in the processing of OCT data that generate improved tissue contrast, including spectroscopic OCT (SOCT), as well as work utilizing secondary light sources and/or detection mechanisms to create and detect enhanced contrast, including photothermal OCT (PTOCT) and photoacoustic OCT (PAOCT). Finally, we conclude with a discussion of the translational potential of these developments as well as barriers to their clinical use.
光学相干断层扫描已成为眼科及其他领域中一种重要的成像方式,它能够实现对组织的高分辨率三维成像。在本文中,我们回顾了对比增强光学相干断层扫描(OCT)领域的最新进展。我们讨论了OCT对比的外源性和内源性来源,重点关注它们在标准OCT系统中的应用以及新兴的基于OCT的成像方式。我们涵盖了在OCT数据处理方面取得的进展,这些进展可产生更好的组织对比度,包括光谱OCT(SOCT),以及利用二次光源和/或检测机制来产生和检测增强对比度的工作,包括光热OCT(PTOCT)和光声OCT(PAOCT)。最后,我们讨论了这些进展的转化潜力以及它们在临床应用中的障碍。
