Optical coherence tomography to identify upper airway obstruction sites in an apneic patient

HIGHLIGHTS

• What: This study aims to utilize a similar OCT setup to acquire high-resolution three-dimensional (3D) reconstructions of the upper airway lumen in an apneic patient during sleep. In this study, high-fidelity structural information and airflow data of a sleeping patient`s upper airway were obtained through OCT imaging and 3D reconstruction, allowing for precise identification of various anatomical sites with airflow obstruction.
• Who: Paper et al. from the University of California Irvine, Beckman Laser Institute, Irvine, California, United States have published the paper: Optical coherence tomography to identify upper airway obstruction sites . . .
