Dynamic imaging of vocal fold oscillation with four‐dimensional optical coherence tomography

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) can provide high‐resolution (∼10–15 μm/pixel) images of vocal fold microanatomy, as demonstrated previously. We explored physiologically triggered Fourier‐domain OCT for imaging vocal folds during phonation. The goal is to visualize dynamic histological cross sections and four‐dimensional data sets where multiple planes are displayed in synchronized motion. If feasible, this approach could be a useful research tool and spur development of new clinical instrumentation.
