Differences in tissue density cause a variety of scattering coefficients. To quantify optical coherence tomography (OCT) images for diagnosis, the tissue's scattering coefficient is estimated by curve fitting the OCT signals to a confocal single backscattering mode. The results from a group of 30 mice show that the scattering coefficients of bone, skin, liver, brain, testis, and spleen can be categorized into three groups: a scattering coefficient between 1.947 and 2.134 mm(-1): bone and skin; a scattering coefficient between 1.303 and 1.461 mm(-1): liver and brain; a scattering coefficient between 0.523 and 0.634 mm(-1): testis and spleen. The results indicate that the scattering coefficient is tissue specific and could be used in tissue diagnosis.
组织密度的差异会导致多种散射系数。为了对光学相干断层扫描(OCT)图像进行量化以用于诊断,通过将OCT信号拟合到共焦单背散射模式来估计组织的散射系数。一组30只小鼠的结果表明,骨骼、皮肤、肝脏、大脑、睾丸和脾脏的散射系数可分为三组:散射系数在1.947至2.134 mm⁻¹之间:骨骼和皮肤;散射系数在1.303至1.461 mm⁻¹之间:肝脏和大脑;散射系数在0.523至0.634 mm⁻¹之间:睾丸和脾脏。结果表明,散射系数具有组织特异性,可用于组织诊断。
