Abstract: This is a project in the field of Biomedical Engineering which brings together researchers with multidisciplinary backgrounds from the Faculty of Sciences and Technology and from the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Coimbra.
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a noninvasive imaging modality undergoing a fast growth of application in the field of ophthalmology because of its unique ability of noninvasive imaging of the ocular fundus, allowing to access the structure of the human retina in vivo. The mentioned project proposes to develop a model of the human retina, in respect to light scattering, able to justify optical coherence tomography changes associated with blood-retinal barrier breakdown.
