Optical coherence tomography devices are used to obtain the high resolution cross-sectional images of the retina. It is a non-invasive imaging test that uses light waves to take the cross-sectional images of the eyes. Optical coherence tomography devices have a sample arm and a reference arm. The sample arm provides light to the patient sample and collects the light dispersed from the sample. These measurements help view each distinctive layer of the eye and measure the thickness of the each layer. Moreover, they provide treatment guidance for diabetic eye disease, age related macular degeneration (AMD), and glaucoma. First optical coherence tomography (OCT) device was launched by Carl Zeiss Meditec AG in 1996.

For a long time the traditional urinary catheter-based systems were the only real option for treating patients who required specialized care. They were simple to use, inexpensive, and provided immediate relief to most patients suffering from urinary tract infections. Over the years, however, a new type of urinary catheter called portable optical coherence tomography devices have become available. They can be used in a variety of settings including doctor's offices and urgent care centers as well as in the home. While the new technology has allowed many doctors and patients to continue getting quick and effective care, this type of system has also changed the way people go about getting regular care.
