Measuring tissue dispersion using the cross-correlation of half-spectrum optical coherence tomography images

In Optical Coherence tomography (OCT), dispersion mismatches cause degradation of the image resolution and are, thus, compensated accordingly. However, dispersion is specific to the material that is causing the effect and can, therefore, carry useful information regarding the composition of the samples. In this summary, we propose a novel technique for estimating tissue dispersion by calculating the cross-correlation of images acquired at...
