Abstract

A method and system for acquiring an image of an object using optical coherence tomography using an interferometer and a detector, wherein the object is irradiated with light emitted by the interferometer, light reflected by the object is fed back into the interferometer and detected by the detector, the image of the object is derived from the detected light, and a file containing information, in particular graphical information and/or photographic image information, relating to the object is assigned to and/or correlated with the image of the object.
