Descriptor English: Tomography, Optical Coherence
Descriptor Spanish: Tomografía de Coherencia Óptica
Descriptor tomografía de coherencia óptica
Scope note: Método de diagnóstico por imagen que utiliza LÁSERES y se emplea para cartografiar estructuras subsuperficiales. Cuando una zona reflectante de la muestra tiene la misma longitud de trayectoria óptica (coherencia) que el espejo de referencia, el detector observa los márgenes de interferencia.
