A dual thickness spatial system for determining optical coefficients from scattering media
A new method for determining the optical absorption coefficient from scattering media is presented. The system measures the transmitted spatial intensity distribution from two samples of different thicknesses. The first moments of the distributions are calculated and used to determine the corresponding pair of optical coefficients. The system is robust to noise and does not require calibration....
متن کاملQuantitative measurement of attenuation coefficients of weakly scattering media using optical coherence tomography.
From calibrated, weakly scattering tissue phantoms (2-6 mm-1), we extract the attenuation coefficient with an accuracy of 0.8 mm-1 from OCT data in the clinically relevant 'fixed focus' geometry. The data are analyzed using a single scattering model and a recently developed description of the confocal point spread function (PSF). We verify the validity of the single scattering model by a quanti...
متن کاملOptical parametrically gated microscopy in scattering media.
High-resolution imaging in turbid media has been limited by the intrinsic compromise between the gating efficiency (removal of multiply-scattered light background) and signal strength in the existing optical gating techniques. This leads to shallow depths due to the weak ballistic signal, and/or degraded resolution due to the strong multiply-scattering background--the well-known trade-off betwe...
متن کاملDetermination of optical scattering properties of highly-scattering media in optical coherence tomography images.
We developed a new algorithm that fits optical coherence tomography (OCT) signals as a function of depth to a general theoretical OCT model which takes into account multiple scattering effects. With use of this algorithm, it was possible to extract both the scattering coefficient and anisotropy factor from a particular region of interest in an OCT image. The extraction algorithm was evaluated a...
متن کاملDetermination of absorption coefficients in highly scattering media from changes in attenuation and phase.
The accurate, quantitative analysis of absorption and scattering properties in tissue is a central problem in biochemical optics, in particular for the determination of hemoglobin and oxyhemoglobin concentrations. Because of light scattering, the absolute concentrations of these chromophores (i.e., the absorption coefficient) cannot easily be inferred. A new method for the estimation of the abs...
