摘要
Measuring the delay in return of reflected light provides a noninvasive way to image delicate materials as well as human tissues. Originally developed in 1991, optical coherence tomography (OCT) is now a standard of care in ophthalmology. OCT is also used for myriad other medical and industrial applications, such as optimizing stent placement in cases of coronary artery disease and testing packaging without com- promising the material contents. James Fujimoto, David Huang, and Eric Swanson have won the 2023 LaskerDeBakey Clinical Medical Research Award for the invention and development of OCT. All three winners sat down with PNAS to describe the development of the technology and share their thoughts on its future applications.
