  • Optical coherence tomography imaging systems, handheld probes, and methods that use a field curvature to match a curved surface of tissue
    Patent number: 11589746
    Abstract: Optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging systems, handhold probes, and methods that use a field curvature to match a curved surface of tissue are disclosed. According to an aspect, an OCT imaging system includes optical elements to generate diverging light. The system also includes one or more mirrors and a lens system configured to scan the diverging light onto a curved surface of an object for imaging of the object.
