ABSTRACT
Optical coherence tomography is a novel imaging technique providing high-resolution bidimensional images of tissue microstructures. Several studies have been published on the use of this technique in different fields of medicine, particularly ophthalmology. There are very few studies in the field of otolaryngology. This paper presents various applications of optical coherence tomography in the different sub-specialties of otolaryngology, as well as the benefits of this technique over traditional diagnostic methods.

La tomografía de coherencia óptica es una técnica de imagen innovadora con la cual se pueden obtener imágenes en dos dimensiones de alta resolución sobre la microestructura de los tejidos. Hoy día hay varios estudios sobre el uso de esta técnica en distintas ramas de la medicina, sobre todo en oftalmología. Sin embargo, poco se ha estudiado en la otorrinolaringología. En este trabajo presentamos los diferentes usos de la tomografía de coherencia óptica en los distintos campos de la otorrinolaringología, así como sus beneficios sobre métodos convencionales de diagnóstico (AU)
