Abstract
Methods for synchronizing an Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) system including detection when a plurality of A-line scans obtained from reflected light of a cantilever scanning fiber within a probe oscillating along a scanning path that increases in amplitude over time are no longer being obtained at a point along the oscillating scanning path when the scanning fiber reaches a minimum speed, determining a value by which a phase angle of the oscillating scanning path is out of synchronization with the plurality of A-line scans, and adjusting a trigger clock for the obtaining the plurality of A-line scans based on the value.
