  • Title: Technique of optical coherence tomography of the larynx during microlaryngoscopy.
    Author: Kraft M, Lüerssen K, Lubatschowski H, Glanz H, Arens C.
    Journal: Laryngoscope; 2007 May; 117(5):950-2. PubMed ID: 17473703.
    Abstract:
    Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a new, noninvasive imaging technology for the evaluation of superficial lesions. Because of a penetrating depth of a few millimeters and an ultrahigh tissue resolution, it qualifies for use in the larynx and might in the near future play an important role in the pre-, intra-, and postoperative investigation of early laryngeal cancer and its precursor lesions. Especially directed to otolaryngologists, this paper describes the technique of in vivo OCT imaging of the larynx in detail during microlaryngoscopy and supplies a number of personal hints.
