13 February 2020Tissue analysis using optical and mechanical tissue properties obtained by polarization-sensitive optical coherence elastography
Polarization-sensitive optical coherence elastography was developed. It integrates Jones matrix-based polarization-sensitive optical coherence tomography with compression OCE. The method simultaneously measures OCT, attenuation coefficient, birefringence, and tissue mechanical properties. Ex-vivo porcine esophagus was measured by PS-OCE. Evident alteration caused by heat-induced denaturation was obtained in almost all of the optical and mechanical properties including attenuation coefficient, birefringence, in-plane lateral displacement, and microstructural deformation.
