Abstract

This chapter describes optical Doppler tomography (ODT). This is an imaging modality that combines Doppler principles with optical coherence tomography to image tissue structure and blood flow velocity simultaneously. We will review the principle and technology of ODT, and illustrate a few examples of its applications.
