CBORT 2018 Symposium

The Center for Biomedical OCT Research and Translation (CBORT) hosted, Advances in Biomedical Polarimetry with OCT on March 12th, 2018. The program was designed to provide an understanding of the latest PS-OCT instrumentation and signal processing techniques as well as the use of PS-OCT in numerous biomedical application areas. Faculty specializing in OCT polarimetry techniques were selected to present on the state-of-the-art in the field and the meeting brought together an interdisciplinary audience of engineers, physicists, biologists, clinicians, business people and trainees from around the world. Through this interaction, aimed to foster the advancement and translation of PS-OCT technology.
