Abstract

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a technique that is widely used to diagnose pathologies through morphological changes in tissue structure. OCT imaging of such structures based on the backscattered intensity provides qualitative images that are not quantitatively related to the tissue’s optical properties. Since certain pathologies affect optical parameters of tissues, such as the attenuation coefficient, quantification of the attenuation coefficient could be useful for medical diagnosis. For accurate quantisation of optical parameters robust depth resolved OCT models which are valid over a wide range of parameters are necessary.
