Abstract
The use of high-speed optical coherence tomography (OCT) as an interventional imaging modality for surgical guidance was investigated. A sequence of images from a 2-W argon beam incident for 2s were obtained on a specimen of beef muscle. Dynamic changes in optical properties provided direct feedback on subsurface tissue morphology and extent of thermal disruption and ablation. These results suggest that therapeutic surgical intervention for precise laser ablation of diseased tissue can be guided using high-speed OCT imaging.
