Commonly used criteria for clinical OCT applications

Applications	Key Criteria
Ophthalmology	Retinal thickness (retinal nerve fiber layer thickness, ganglion cell-inner plexiform layer thickness, nuclear layer thickness, photoreceptor layer thickness), retinal volume, retinal vessel density, choroidal thicknesses, choroidal reflectivity, macular thickness, morphology (foveal contour, choroidal surface irregularity, submacular retinal pigment epithelium disorganization, macular optical empty spaces)
Cardiovascular	Fibrous cap thickness, lipid arc, vessel diameter, blood-flow velocity, neointimal thickness, plaque eccentricity, plaque composition
Dermatology	Epidermal thickness, surface-to-first-vessel distance, vascular network, morphology (epidermal attenuation coefficient, hyporefletive flaccid structure, hypoechogenic structure)
Urology	Epithelial attenuation coefficient, urothelium thickness, lamina propria structure
Gastroenterology	Muscular layer thickness, mucosal and submucosal blood-flow velocity, organization and existence of esophageal wall tissue (squamous epithelium, lamina propria mucosa, muscularis mucosa, submucosa, muscularis propria, glands, villous)
Dentistry	Enamel and dentin attenuation coefficient, ceramics prosthese reflectivity, gingival tissue organization (sulcus, epithelium)
