Research from the University of Colorado suggests a method that “changes the surface shape of optical liquid” could improve OCT imaging to better detect eye and heart conditions.

A compact optical coherence tomography (OCT) device has been developed by engineers at the University of Colorado (UC) that could replace mechanical in-vivo imaging devices with miniaturised, non-mechanical versions that use less power.
