Measuring tissue dispersion using the cross-correlation of half-spectrum optical coherence tomography images
Photiou, Christos; Bousi, Evgenia; Zouvani, Ioanna; Pitris, Costas (International Society for Optics and Photonics, 2019)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 ...
