PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a quantitative method for obtaining tissue characteristics from optical coherence tomography images.SOLUTION: Backscatter and attenuation of an OCT optical beam is measured and based on these measurements and indicium such as color is assigned for each portion of the image corresponding to the specific value of the backscatter and attenuation for that portion. The image is then displayed with the indicia and a user can then determine the tissue characteristics. In an alternative embodiment, the tissue characteristics are classified automatically by a program given the combination of backscatter and attenuation values. |
