Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the validity of swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) for detecting sealant microleakage. Materials and Methods: A total of 31 extracted sound human molar, assigned as suitable for sealant application, were chosen and divided into two groups: (1) no microleakage group and (2) microleakage group by applying sealant using the different methods. All specimens were immersed in 1% methylene blue for 24 h and sectioned to confirm the absence or presence of sealant microleakage as a gold standard method. Subsequently, all the sectioned specimens were digitally photographed using a microscope with a magnification of ${\times}50$. Presence of microleakage was evaluated on a 2-point rating scale. The association of histological method with conventional methods (visual and tactile assessment) and SS-OCT was assessed using a chi-squared test. The intra- and inter-examiner reliability was calculated using Cohen's Kappa. Results: The SS-OCT showed a sensitivity of 0.73 and a specificity of 1.00, while visual and tactile assessment showed a sensitivity of 0.67 and a specificity of 0.86. The inter-examiner reliability of SS-OCT was 0.79, whereas that of the visual and tactile assessment was 0.53. Conclusions: SS-OCT can be used to non-invasively detect sealant microleakage and to monitor pit and fissure sealant in the clinics.

We propose a novel application of optical coherence tomography (OCT) to monitor pit formation in laser irradiated optical storage materials. A multilayer optical storage recordable compact disk, is composed of multiple layers, each of different structure. Disks were irradiated with aQ-Switched Nd:YAG laser with an energy of 373 mJ. Post-irradiated disks were evaluated by OCT and those images were compared with optical microscopy. Our results indicate that OCT is a useful instrument to investigate pit formation in multilayer optical storage disks and might also provide information to optimize optical memory technology.

본 논문에서는 비 침습적, 비 파괴적으로 샘플의 단층구조와 단층의 미세진동을 실시간으로 동시에 영상화하는 마이크로 바이브로 토모그라피(micro vibro tomography: MVT) 시스템 개발 및 미세진동 측정 방법을 제안한다. 제안한 방법은 광 간섭 단층촬영기술(optical coherence tomography: OCT)을 기반으로 하여, 샘플의 위상변이를 이용해 마이크로 단위의 움직임을 측정하는 알고리즘을 적용한 방법이다. 본 실험에서는 고막을 모방한 라텍스 샘플에 2~5 kHz 주파수의 음파를 인가시키고, 음파에 의한 샘플의 미세진동을 제안한 MVT 시스템을 이용하여 측정하였다. 그 결과, 고막 모방 샘플의 단층구조와 미세진동을 동시에 영상화할 수 있었고, 표면부의 미세진동을 MVT 표면 진동 이미지로 프로젝팅하여 고막 모방 샘플의 전체적인 진동 형태를 관찰할 수 있었다.

Optical-based imaging technology has high resolution and can assess images in real time. Numerous studies have been conducted for its application in the dental field. The current research introduces an oral camera that includes fluorescent imaging, a second study examining a 3D intraoral scanner applying a confocal method and a polarization structure that identifies the 3D image of a tooth, and finally, an optical coherence tomography technique. Using this technique, we introduce a new concept 3D oral scanner that simultaneously implements 3D structural imaging as well as images that diagnose the inside of teeth. With the development of light source technology and detector technology, various optical-based imaging technologies are expected to be applied in dentistry.

We developed a real-time screening system using optical coherence tomography (OCT) to distinguish the fruitful melon seeds efficiently. Cross-section images of melon seeds infected with Cucumber green mottle mosaic virus (CGMMV) showed an additional layer that did not appear in normal seeds. Additional layer appeared under $100{\sim}300{\mu}m$ from the surface of the seed. OCT can visualize the micro-structural and morphological changes of the internal seed structure. Real-time OCT seed screening system provided the real-time, non-destructive, cross-section image and quantitative information such as A-scan analysis of selected region in the cross-section image. We can distinguish the viral infection seeds while monitoring the averaged A-scan analysis graph in real-time by considering the second peak value of the graph which refers to the layer that occurred owing to the virus. Real-time OCT seed screening system could assist to distinguish the disease caused by CGMMV.

본 논문에서는 인체에 무해하며 고분해능의 단층영상과 저가격 및 소형으로 제작이 가능하여 전세계적으로 많은 연구가 진행중인 광영상 단층촬영기(Optical coherence tomography system : OCT)의 분해능 향상에 관한 것이다. 고분해능 단층영상을 얻기 위하여 펨토초 레이저를 이용한 OCT 시스템을 구성하였다. 펨토초레이저의 펄스폭을 측정하기 위하여 자체상관법(Autocorrelator function)를 이용하여 펄스폭을 측정하였으며, 이론식과 기준시편을 이용한 측정으로 실제 분해능을 측정하였다. 또한 SLD(superluminescent diode) 광원과의 비교분석을 통해 분해능이 약 1.5배 향상됨을 확인하였으며 단층영상 비교의 경우 보다 선명한 단층영상을 얻을 수 있을 것이다.

광 간섭 단층 촬영(optical coherence tomography : OCT)은 생체 미세 조직의 단면을 약 $1{\mu}m$ 해상도의 영상으로 획득하기 위한 고해상도 영상 기법으로 영상 진단 의학에 주로 응용된다. 본 논문에서는 OCT 시스템의 원리를 알아보고 이론을 바탕으로 시스템을 직접 구현한다. 또한 안광학과 치과학 영역에서의 응용을 실험적으로 알아보기 위하여 쥐 눈과 인간의 대구치 표본을 이용하여 실험하였다. 구현한 시스템을 이용하여 두 가지 표본 실험을 통해 2-D 영상 데이터를 획득한다. 획득한 2-D 영상을 MATLAB과 OPEN-GL을 이용하여 생체 조직 정보 획득에 용이한 3-D OCT 영상을 구축하고 분석한다. 3-D 영상 구축에 OPEN-GL을 이용함으로써 MATLAB에 비해 처리 시간을 약 10배 단축하였다.

We construct and test the polarization-sensitive optical coherence tomography (PS-OCT) system for imaging porcine and human articular cartilages. PS-OCT is a new imaging technology that provides information regarding not only the tissue structures but tissue components that show birefringence such as collagen. In this study, we measure the cartilage thickness of the porcine joint and the phase retardation due to collagen birefringence. Also, we demonstrate that changes of the collagen fiber orientation could be detected by the PS-OCT system. Finally, differences between normal and damaged human articular cartilage are observed using the PS-OCT system, which is then compared with the regular histology pictures. As a result, the PS-OCT system is proven to be effective for diagnosis of the pathology related to the cartilage. In the future, this technology may be used for discrimination of the collagen types. When combined with endoscope technologies, the PS-OCT images may become a useful tool for in vivo tissue testing.
