Organoids play an increasingly important role in in vitro models for studying organ development and disease mechanisms, and drug discovery. Recently, two groups independently developed human heart organoids from human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs). In this study, we utilized a customized spectral-domain OCT (SD-OCT) to study heart organoids and demonstrated its capability to produce 3D images. Heart organoids formed cavities of various sizes, and complex interconnections were observed as early as on day 6. Heart organoids and the OCT system showed promising insights as an in vitro platform to investigate heart development and diseases mechanisms.
