Abstract

In this presentation, I will focus on our recent works where we developed an innovative image-guided technology using a needle probe optical coherence tomography (OCT) system with an automatic identification algorithm to reduce complications during epidural needle insertion. 3D monitoring of the dura puncture and blood patch process were also discussed. Finally, I will also introduce the multi-contrast OCT for the assessment of pathological processes, such as in the retina degeneration and tumor detection.
