Modern OCT devices can look inside the eye without a scalpel – but they do not always capture everything that matters. Some critical information is simply lost, blurred by scattered photons. The STOC-T technology, developed for years by Prof. Maciej Wojtkowski and his team at ICTER, aims to resolve this problem – not through post-processing, but by fundamentally changing the way imaging data is collected.<\/p>\n

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) has become one of the foundations of modern ophthalmology. A patient sits in front of the device and focuses on a target, and moments later the physician can see a detailed cross-section of the retina – layer by layer, without any physical contact with the eye. It is one of the most significant advances in ophthalmology over the past three decades. OCT enables clinicians to detect glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and macular edema before a patient experiences noticeable vision loss.<\/p>\n

Yet, behind this seemingly simple examination lies complex physics. Light entering the eye does not return to the detector in perfect order. Some photons carry useful information about the tissue being examined. Others become scattered, bounce in random directions, and mix with the desired signal. The result is an image with reduced contrast, increased graininess, and lower clarity. Ironically, it is often within these blurred details that the earliest signs of disease may be hidden. Prof. Maciej Wojtkowski, who heads the International Centre for Translational Eye Research (ICTER) at the Institute of Physical Chemistry within the Polish Academy of Sciences in Warsaw, has been working on this challenge for many years. In the article “Spatio-temporal optical coherence imaging and tomography for in vivo applications,” published in the\u00a0Journal of Biomedical Optics, he describes the STOC technology and its three-dimensional implementation, STOC-T. The method is designed not only to improve image quality…<\/p>\n
