An international team of researchers, including experts from the University of St Andrews, has made a breakthrough in the field of optical coherence tomography (OCT), a type of light imaging used in various applications such as ophthalmology, dermatology, cardiology, and cancer detection. The team's research, published in Science Advances, addresses the challenge of recovering information from depth due to light scattering in tissue. They discovered that selectively collecting multiply scattered light can improve image contrast at depth, potentially revolutionizing OCT imaging. The researchers believe their breakthrough could lead to significant advancements in recovering images at depth and improving disease diagnosis.
