Dr. Adie's research program focuses on the development and application of OCT-based imaging for basic science investigations as well as clinical applications. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is an imaging modality capable of 3D label-free imaging of tissue structure and function in vivo. It can be thought of as the optical analogue of ultrasound, although the measurement of 'optical echoes' supports much higher resolution. OCT-based instrumentation and imaging techniques are being developed in the Adie Lab to optimize resolution and enhance the contrast of 3D-OCT. This includes methods for optical coherence elastography (OCE) to image the mechanical properties of tissues. OCE provides a high-resolution 'palpation' capability by mechanically perturbing a sample and precisely imaging the corresponding displacements. We also explore new image formation paradigms for cellular-resolution volumetric OCT. These efforts exploit computational approaches that are made possible by recognizing that OCT combines the advantages of digital holography with the beam-scanning benefits afforded by confocal microscopy.
