1. A method of providing a hyperspectral multichannel optical coherence system, the method comprising providing image processing computer hardware configured to:
process optical coherence tomography (OCT) signals obtained from a plurality of OCT subsystems, thereby obtaining an OCT image dataset comprising a plurality of OCT A-scans and hyperspectral image data; and
process the OCT image dataset to generate volumetric image data based on known positions and known orientations of a plurality of external beam paths associated with the plurality of OCT subsystems, the volumetric image data represented in a common reference frame for rendering a composite volumetric image,
whereby at least one parameter of each of OCT subsystem of the plurality of OCT subsystems is independently adjustable.
