Optical coherence tomography is a form of non-invasive imaging test. This technique uses coherent light to capture two and three dimensional images. OCT is a technique to examine the transparent tissues. It is mostly used for analysis in the field of ophthalmology to monitor the condition of a retina. In recent days, there have been various technological developments in the field of OCT, hence increasing its scope of applications in the medical industry. OCT is used in biopsy due to benefits such as, High resolution, high penetration depth, and its potential for functional imaging.

IMPACT OF COVID-19 ON OPTICAL COHERENCE TOMOGRAPHY (OCT) MARKET
COVID-19 first began in Wuhan (China) during December 2019 and since then it has spread at a fast pace across the globe. The US, India, Brazil, Russia, France, the UK, Turkey, Italy, and Spain are some of the worst affected countries in terms confirmed cases and reported deaths. The COVID-19 has been affecting economies and industries in various countries due to lockdowns, travel bans, and business shutdowns. Shutdown of various plants and factories has affected the global supply chains and negatively impacted the manufacturing, delivery schedules, and sales of products in global market. However, the demand for Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) has decreased due to rising in COVID instances. According to the research led by Codice Viola, charity that supports pancreatic cancer patients found that more than 500 breast or pancreatic patients appointments for chemotherapy or radiotherapy were postponed. Additionally, 64% of surgical procedures were postponed and more than half have had follow-up appointments rescheduled.
Additionally, In UK, the practice of oncological surgery has been changed. Increasing COVID-19 has impacted the diagnosis and treatment of cancer due to the diversification of the medical work force and decision to focus on treating the critically ill. Due to the current pandemic, many cancer research organizations which are dealing with radiofrequency ablation devices treatment are not taking appointments to avoid anxiety associated with same. Due to new clinical practice are prioritizing their patients and making difficult choices by offering less treatment. Similarly, In the Netherlands, the healthcare system is under stress due to the rising number of COVID-19 patients. Family healthcare services providers are treating COVID-19 patient who has disrupted normal patient care.
