Introduction to Glass OCT Technology Google Glass Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is a feature of Glass that is revolutionizing the medical imaging industry by capturing high-resolution images for the diagnosis of ear, eye, and throat infections. Google Glass OCT’s high quality images optimize time necessary to diagnose patients. An optimized diagnosis leads to the delivery of a quickened and more precise treatment. The need for an imaging technology that could provide high resolution, early diagnosis without radiation arose due to shortcomings of human eye analysis, dermascope, and otoscope technologies. Industrialization of Glass OCT allows doctors to instantly capture and document OCT scans in a hands- free environment.. Your text would go here. Implementation of Google Glass Optical Coherence Tomography (Oct) Technology; Improving Imaging Diagnosis In Clinical Settings Laura Beth Fulton, Aeriel Euhus, University of Pittsburgh, Swanson School of Engineering Freshman Conference Engineered Design of Glass OCT Glass OCT technology enables imaging without the use of radiation; images of sub-surfaces such as ears or eyes are captured through light refraction. Specific advantages of OCT are its high depth and transversal resolution. Images are obtained through the high depth resolution, a contact-free and non- invasive operation that creates function dependent images produced by lateral depth scanning. Cellular level resolution produced by Glass OCT allows acute infections to be diagnosed prior to their manifestation.. Output of the obtained OCT image is displayed by Glass on the eyepiece projection. The projection is created as a holographic screen that appears as a floating image in front of the Glass users. Glass OCT technology is advantageous to a non-Glass-integrated OCT technology because such a technology would require output images to be displayed on a monitor as opposed to Glass screen The projection is displayed at a calculated distance where the eye’s fovea then focuses the image that the retina receives and the optic nerve transmits the image to the brain Glass OCT shows real-time display of the image with Glass projection seen in the upper right corner of the Glass eyepiece. The projected Glass image offers high sub- micron resolution and allows doctors to diagnose ear, eye, and throat infection that are non-accessible via otoscope and dermascope diagnostic technology. Display using a computer monitor limits diagnosis because real-time display is not possible; images are captured and then analyzed. Glass OCT, allows simultaneous capturing and analysis.. Display of OCT Imaging with Glass Application of OCT via Glass OCT aides with clinical applications because of its capability of real-time in situ 3D visualization of tissue structure and pathology without the need to excise and process the sample tissue. In diagnosing ear infections, specifically otits media, which is characterized by the presence of a biofilm on the tympanic membrane and in the middle ear, Glass OCT surpasses the functionality of the Otoscope because it can detect the biofilm. Not only does Glass OCT detect the biofilm, it also gives information to doctors allowing the identification of an ear infection to be instantly diagnosed. Potential Obstacles of Implementation Glass OCT imaging standards are equal to other, more advanced imaging technologies such as MRIs. Ultrasound, High-res. CT, and MRI provider higher resolutions than that of Glass OCT. Glass OCT technology requires an improved depth penetration and resolution to compete with higher resolution imaging instruments.. Industrialization of Glass OCT When a doctor receives a clearer image of the issue at hand, he can deliver a diagnosis quicker and more accurately than without such a clear image. This process is done instantaneously during patient assessment, leading to substantial time saved in treating a patient. Improvement for Patient Care Glass OCT allows for the live streaming surgeries to medical students, remote mentoring, and, most importantly, viewing of patients’ records without looking away from patients. Glass OCT Comparison Chart. Conclusion Glass OCT offers a noninvasive, hands-free system that delivers instant medical imaging. Outlook for Google Glass OCT in the clinical setting is promising as Glass OCT’s user interface to produce high quality images minimizes time necessary to diagnose patients, leading to the delivery of quickened, more precise treatment..
