Qualitative and quantitative assessment of cartilage degeneration using full-field optical coherence tomography ex vivo

We have demonstrated that FFOCT is an alternative approach to conventional optical coherence tomography (OCT) that is as well adapted for the qualitative and quantitative assessment of human cartilage as the reference gold standard - histology. This study constitutes the first promising results towards developing a new diagnostic tool in the field of osteoarthritis.
