OCT enables accurate diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment guidance for these conditions.

“Technological Advancements”

Advances in OCT technology, such as the development of spectral-domain OCT (SD-OCT) and swept-source OCT (SS-OCT), have improved imaging speed, resolution, and depth penetration. A rapidly evolving technology in high-resolution cross-sectional image processing is OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography). It uses light to broadly image tissue structure on a micron scale in real-time and in vivo. It is an optical technique for performing non-invasive diagnostics. In circumstances in which conventional imaging methods are not successful, it is utilized. These technological advancements have enhanced the capabilities of OCT devices, making them more efficient, user-friendly, and accurate. The OCT technology market is growing because of continuous innovation.

RESTRAINING FACTORS:

“Lack of Skilled Professionals”

Interpreting OCT images and making accurate diagnoses requires specialized training and expertise. A single issue that might impede the widespread implementation and use of OCT devices is the absence of experienced healthcare practitioners who are competent in interpreting OCT data. The need for trained personnel and ongoing education represents a restraint in the market. Obtaining regulatory approvals for new OCT devices and applications can be a complex and time-consuming process. Stringent regulatory requirements and varying approval timelines across different regions pose challenges for manufacturers, delaying the market entry of innovative OCT technologies and restricting market growth.
