Market Research Reports included a detailed market survey and analysis trends
on “Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) Market”. This report also includes more info about basic
overview of the industry including definitions, applications and global market
industry structure. Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is a non-invasive
optical diagnostic technique. Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is based on
the principle of inferometry, which employs near infrared light to create a
cross-sectional view of the retina. OCT captures three-dimensional images of
the biological tissue with micrometer-resolution that is accurate to within 10
to 15 microns.

OCT devices are designed to precision so that the sample light
and reference light are only coherent when the path distances are closely
matched. OCT devices have a sample arm and a reference arm. The sample arm of
the system provides light to the patient sample (e.g. retina), and collects the
light dispersed from the sample. This light collected from the sample is then
mixed with the light that is reflected from the reference arm of the device. On
the contrary to ultrasound, Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) imaging does not
require any physical contact with the patient which makes it a safe and
effective diagnostic imaging tool. Owing to its advance three dimensional
imaging ability, OCT has gained wide popularity as a powerful diagnostic tool
in the fields of oncology, dermatology and endoscopic diagnosis.
Based
on technology the Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) market can be segmented as
follows:
- Time Domain Optical Coherence
Tomography (TDOCT)
- Frequency Domain Optical Coherence
Tomography (FD-OCT)
- Spatially Encoded Frequency Domain
Optical Coherence Tomography
- Spectral Domain Optical Coherence
Tomography (SDOCT)
- Fourier Domain Optical Coherence Tomography (FDOCT)
Some
of the types of Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) devices used in various
areas of diagnostic imaging are as follows:
- Catheter based OCT devices
- Doppler OCT devices
- Handheld OCT devices
- Tabletop OCT devices
There
are three major types of volumetric images used in OCT imaging, which are as
follows:
- Annular volume scan
- Radial volume scan
- Raster or rectangular volume scan
Optical
Coherence Tomography (OCT) is particularly useful in diagnosing many eye
conditions, which includes:
- Age-related macular degeneration
- Central serous retinopathy
- Diabetic retinopathy
- Macular edema
- Macular hole
- Macular pucker
- Vitreomacular traction
- Preretinal membranes
In
the geographical perspective, North America followed by Europe are the leading
markets for Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) owing to the rising aging
population and high adoption rate. The geriatric population has grown
significantly around the world. According to the WHO, population above 65 years
has grown the fastest. This population is expected to increase from 13% in 2010
to 53% by 2020. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the number of people
above 65 years to every 100 people of the working age is projected to increase
greatly from 22 in 2010 to almost 35 in 2020. This huge geriatric population
would also face various ophthalmologic complications such as diabetic
retinopathy and age-related macular degeneration, amongst other. However, owing
to the economic development and high awareness rate, other regions such as
Asia-Pacific and Latin America are also expected to be the potential markets in
the near future.
The
primary factors contributing in the growth of the Optical Coherence Tomography
(OCT) market is growing aging population and extensive application scope of the
technology. Moreover, technological benefits of OCT such as ability to
visualize in-depth structures of the eye, mucosal membranes, surface tissues
and vascular systems; is significantly driving the growth of the Optical
Coherence Tomography (OCT) market. Furthermore, extensive use of OCT devices in
drug discovery and development for imaging biological tissues at the molecular
level are also contributing in the growth of the Optical Coherence Tomography
(OCT) market. However, restraining factors such as lack of reimbursement
facilities and insufficient clinical data might impede the growth of the
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) market.
Some
of the major companies involved with the Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT)
market are Agfa Healthcare, Carl Zeiss Meditec AG, Heidelberg Engineering GmbH,
Imalux Corporation, Michelson Diagnostics, Novacam Technologies Inc., OPTOPOL
Technology S.A., Topcon Medical Systems Inc. and Thorlabs Inc.
