Spectroscopic OCT is an extension of OCT technology where not only the structural information, but also the spectroscopic information is retrieved. It is based on the principle that the bandwidth of a light source used in OCT is broad; therefore by using appropriate time-frequency analysis, a depth-resolved spectroscopy study can be performed. Spectroscopic OCT has at least two imaging targets: imaging spectral absorption and spectral scattering:

Cancer Imaging
Cancer is one of the leading causes of death in the developed world. Currently, most forms of cancer are recognized when a tumor mass develops and becomes palpable by feel. However, recent advances in imaging and screening methods have led to the earlier detection of cancer which may lead to more effective therapy significantly reducing the morbidity and mortality rates attributed to cancer. Optical Coherence Tomography is capable of providing morphological information about the tissue on a micron scale resolution:

Near-infrared brain monitoring (human or primate)
Near-infrared brain monitoring
-----------------------------------------
http://www.optics.rochester.edu/research/biomedical.html
In this project, we shine low-power near-infrared laser light at two wavelengths into the heads of human subjects. This light can penetrate far enough to reach the outer cortex of the brain and still diffuse back out of the head. As the content of the blood in the brain changes (due to both volume and oxygenation status), the amount of light exiting the head changes. By measuring these fluctuations in power, we can monitor blood changes in a particular region of the brain. This permits us to detect "activations" in this region, in a manner similar to fMRI.We have been particularly interested in correcting for hemodynamic trends that are not unique to the brain--i.e. trends that are present additionally in, or only in, the scalp. We detect these using dedicated optical fibers that are placed unusually close to the source fibers on the surface of the head, only 5-6 mm away.
Check out the Publications page to read about our two-layer subtraction method (2005), our experimental demonstration of layer-like hemodynamic trends in human subjects (2008), and our data suggesting that scalp-corrected data provides more reliable estimation of visually-evoked hemodynamic responses (2011).
