RESUMO
A tomografia de coerência óptica (OCT) é um exame não invasivo e de não contato que permite avaliar a retina e o nervo óptico. As imagens da OCT fornecem informações da constituição da retina e sua integridade estrutural in vivo, gerando imagens de alta resolução, que se assemelham à microscopia óptica. Objetivou-se descrever a técnica de tomografia de coerência óptica (OCT) e sua utilização em cães. Foi possível diferenciar claramente as camadas retinianas de cães hígidos e compará-las com as de cães portadores de atrofia progressiva de retina, que apresentaram perda da estratificação e diminuição significativa das camadas. No descolamento de retina (DR) foi possível observar a separação entre a retina neurossensorial e o epitélio pigmentário da retina (EPR), além da presença de exsudatos intrarretinianos. Assim, a OCT mostrou-se eficaz no diagnóstico de retinopatias.(AU)

The objective of this paper was to describe and document the use of the optical coherence tomography (OCT) in dogs. It was possible differentiate the retinal layers of healthy dogs and compare them with dogs with progressive retinal atrophy which showed altered stratification and significant reduce of the layers. In cases of retinal detachment was observed separation of neurosensory retina from the retinal pigment epithelium, and the presence of intrarretinal exudates. Thus, the OCT was effective in the diagnosis of retinopathy.(AU)

A photonic imaging method that gives the possibility to measure egg quality was applied. Since the method is non-contact and non-destructive we believe that this photonic imaging method may be successfully integrated in the automated inspection systems in the poultry industry. The method involves scanning an invisible infrared light beam over the eggshell, allowing to detect possible cracks and reveal information about the structure of the eggshell. The high resolution, high quality measurements obtained through optical coherence tomography (OCT) make it feasible to be utilized as part of an automated inspection system. In this paper we present an OCT scan image of the egg tip and reconstructed volumetric images of the eggshell surface. The method enables the detection of small cracks on eggs and reveals the detailed inner structures of the cracks.
