Depth-dependent attenuation and backscattering characterization of optical coherence tomography by stationary iterative method

ABSTRACT: Abstract.

Significance

Extracting optical properties of tissue [e.g., the attenuation coefficient (

Aim

Our aim is to develop a robust and accurate model that calculates depth-wise values of attenuation and backscattering fractions simultaneously from OCT signals. Furthermore, we aim to develop an attenuation compensation model for OCT images that utilizes the optical properties we obtained to improve the visual representation of tissues.

Approach

Using the stationary iteration method under suitable constraint conditions, we derived the approximated solutions of

Results

The preliminary validation was performed in the OCT A-line simulation and Monte Carlo modeling, and the subsequent experiment was conducted on multi-layer silicone-dye-
