OCT in Gynecology

  • Chapter
Optical Coherence Tomography

Part of the book series: Biological and Medical Physics, Biomedical Engineering ((BIOMEDICAL))

Timely and efficient diagnosis of diseases of the female reproductive system is very important from the social viewpoint [1, 2]. Diagnostic efficacy of the existing techniques still needs improvement because malignant neoplasms of the female reproductive system organs are stable leaders among causes of death (over 35.9%) [3]. Each year, 851.9 thousands genital cancer cases are recorded worldwide [1, 2].

In this chapter, we present a wide spectrum of the OCT studies of different parts of the female reproductive system and demonstrate the potential of the clinical use of a new visualization method in gynecological practice.
