Neonate & Pediatric Airway Management

Research indicates that optical coherence tomography clearly identifies in vivo tissue layers and regional architecture while offering detailed information concerning tissue microstructures. The diagnostic potential OCT makes it a promising emerging imaging modality in the study and surveillance of the neonatal airway and for use in pediatric patients.
