Optical coherence tomography is one of the most successful modern optical imaging modality. However, image quality is limited by resolution, specide and the lack of lissue/cell-specific contrast To address these shortcomings, we combined ullra-broadband light sources with high numencal aperture objectives to achieve sub-cellular resolution. Temporal fluctuations in the OCT-signal caused by physiological processes allow an efficient suppression of speckle nose and provides additional information about the tissue. This concept of dynamic OCT wath cellular resolution was first introduced with FF-OCT and later demonstrated with scanning OCT. This talk will address the use of scanned high-resolution dOCT for functional imaging of corneal epithelium, skin, aifway and lung tissue. It will also discuss the possibility to retrieve metabolic information with dOCT and the challenges in the translation to in vivo imaging
