REASONS FOR THIS SITE

1. 1.Encourage Hypothesis Driven Research, Both Basic and Double Blind Clinical Trials (rather than registries)
   

2. 2.Encourage Hypothesis Driven Engineering
   

3. 3.Provide a Less Technical Understanding of OCT than Covered in the Textbook.
   

4. 4.Draw Attention to Misconceptions in the Field.
   

5. 5.Provide a Resource for New Investigators.
   

6. 6.Review the History of OCT, Particularly Imaging in Non-Transparent Tissue and A-Scan OCT Dating to 1981
   

7. 7.Discuss Why OCT Advanced So Quickly in the 1990s
   

8. 8.Provide an Opinion on The Slow Progress of OCT Since 2000, Particularly Cardiovascular OCT
