Endobronchial optical coherence tomography for minimally invasive, volumetric microscopic imaging in interstitial lung disease

This talk explores a pioneering new technique, endobronchial optical coherence tomography (EOCT) for minimally invasive, volumetric microscopic imaging in interstitial lung disease.

There has been clinical success translation in a few areas outside of the lung regarding EOCT, with this technique offering a lot of promise in interstitial lung disease, discussion body of work and positive future directions short and long term.

• Gain insights into the timeline of how the technique was approached
• Gain knowledge on whether OCT can assess peripheral lung disease
• Preview initial studies and pilot studies undertaken
