Evidence of retinal ganglion cell loss consistent with retrograde trans-synaptic degeneration has also been demonstrated in-vivo with optical coherence tomography in humans.

To date, NASA has measured Optical Coherence Tomography ( OCT ) and A-scan axial length changes in the eye before and after spaceflight.
23.
MS patients show axonal loss in the retina and optic nerve, which can be measured by Optical coherence tomography or by Scanning laser polarimetry.
24.
Optical Coherence Tomography ( OCT ) is another NIR medical imaging technique capable of 3D imaging with high resolution on par with low-power microscopy.
25.
Joel Schuman, along with Eric Swanson, James Fujimoto, Carmen Puliafito, Charles Lin and David Huang, invented the optical coherence tomography ( OCT ) technology.
26.
Finally, high resolution spectral domain optical coherence tomography could prove to be a very promising and sensitive way of identifying optic neuritis in the future.
27.
Other important areas of research include the development of novel optical techniques for nano-optical measurements, diffractive optics, low-coherence interferometry, optical coherence tomography, and near-field microscopy.
28.
Other intravascular imaging techniques involving magnetic resonance imaging ( MRI ), optical coherence tomography ( OCT ), and near infrared spectroscopy are also being investigated.
29.
The device uses fractional flow reserve for measuring intra-arterial pressure and optical coherence tomography technology, which allows doctors to visually examine inside a patient's arteries.
30.
Applications demonstrated include optogenetic activation of focal cortical areas, " in vivo " imaging of cortical vasculature via fluorescence microscopy and 3D optical coherence tomography.
