Abstract

Quantitative OCT measurements of optical parameters such as the attenuation coefficient could allow for better differentiation between healthy and diseased tissues. To investigate relationship between the attenuation coefficient and OCT signal we developed a Monte Carlo (MC) simulation method for OCT measurements that takes into account the confocal function. To validate the MC model simulations were compared to OCT measurements on phantoms. Both the A-lines, and attenuation coefficients extracted from the A-lines based on a singly scattered model, matched well between the simulated and experimentally measured data.
