Applications

dOCTor OCT systems can be used for research in:

• Dental and periodontal applications
• Dermatology
• Developmental biology
• Dopper imaging
• Ear canal measurements for customization of hearing aids
• Flow measurement in engineered tissue (Doppler OCT)
• Guided surgery
• Molecular imaging protein-based molecular contrast OCT
• Monitoring the concentration of photosensitizers in photodynamic therapy (PDT)
• Oncology
• Ophthalmology – retinal imaging
• Pharmaceutical research
• Small animal imaging
• Tissue engineering and in bioreactors
• Visualizing of artificially grown tissues (skin, cornea) and artificial vascular grafts

Novacam OCT detector technology is being developed in partnership with the National Research Council of Canada, in particular with the NRC Industrial Materials Institute (IMI) and the NRC Institute for Biodiagnostics (IBD).

Novacam OCT systems continue supporting groundbreaking Life Sciences projects at IBD.

Cardiac research
Intravascular OCT on a Beating Heart Model A beating porcine heart model was prepared to run a series of long-duration coronary OCT scans. Novacam swept-source dOCTor (SS-OCT) system allows for high-speed high-quality imaging of coronary arteries.
