Abstract

Scattering makes tissue imaging difficult. A shallow depth of a few mean free paths optical coherence tomography (OCT) has been very efficient for retinal examination. In its standard form because of the large depth of field requirement cellular resolution is far to be achieved. Such resolution, that is required for pathology, is easily achieved using Full Field OCT that takes en face images using microscope objectives. We will describe some of the results obtained in cooperation with various cancer hospitals in France and in the USA : breast, prostate, skin, brain as well as new developments that could help to increase the scores in term of sensitivity and specificity.
