The publication "High definition live 3D-OCT in vivo: design and evaluation of a 4D OCT engine with 1 GVoxel/s" by Wolfgang Wieser from the group of Prof. Robert Huber was highlighted as Spotlight article by the Optical Society of America (OSA). Every month the OSA selects 6 outstanding publications from all OSA journals which show the breadth and quality of latest optical research. In the spotlight article, a system is presented which combines fastest FDML lasers and massively parallel data analysis on modern, consumer-grade GPUs to enable the acquisition of volumetric OCT data in video-rate, processing the data in real time, and rendering in 3D for displaying (Video). Up to now, volumetric OCT imaging was mainly used for medical diagnostic purposes, where the information was studied after data acquisition. This work now enables interactive use of 3D-OCT for applications like e.g. surgical microscopes.
This is already the third arcticle from the Huber group that gets selected as OSA Spotlight artice in the last three years.
