Optical Coherence Tomography allows quantitative measurements of the scattering coefficient μs. We show that μs is related to tissue structures and disease, e.g. due to increased proliferation (tumors) and cell death (apoptosis and necrosis). Still, measurements are influenced by multiple scattering effects and concentration dependent scattering effects, which both lead to an underestimation of μs . Their contribution to the OCT-measured μs was investigated at 600, 800, 1300 and 1600 nm on Intralipid dilutions. A non-linear increase of μs with concentration was found for all wavelengths. At the higher wavelengths the contribution of multiple scattering is expected to be low. We therefore conclude that concentration dependent scattering effects should be taken into account for quantitative μs measurements. |
