Scattering imaging of skin in Fourier domain optical coherence tomography

A scattering imaging method for skin tissue in Fourier domain optical coherence tomography is proposed. In this method, parameter F image is obtained from the intensity signal as a function of the depth. Since parameter F contains only the scattering coefficient and its first order derivative, the scattering coefficient image depending on depth can be calculated from the parameter F image. Two-dimensional (2D) scattering coefficient images of palm skin are calculated after extracting the tissue interfaces in the 2D parameter F images.
