Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A system, process and software arrangement are provided to determining data associated with at least one structural change of tissue. In particular, a first optical coherence tomography (“OCT”) signal which contains first information regarding the tissue at a first stress level, and a second OCT signal which contains second information regarding the tissue at a second stress level are received. The first and second information are compared to produce comparison information. The data associated with the at least one structural change is determined as a function of the comparison information and further information associated with (i) at least one known characteristics of the tissue and/or (ii) characteristics of an OCT system. Further, at least one optical coherence tomography (“OCT”) signal which contains information regarding the tissue can be received, and the modulus of the tissue may be determined as a function of the received at least one OCT signal.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A system for determining data associated with at least one structural change of tissue, comprising: a non-transitory processing arrangement, which when executing a predetermined technique, is configured to: a) receive a first interferometric signal which contains first information regarding the tissue at a first stress level, and a second interferometric signal which contains second information regarding the tissue at a second stress level, b) compare the…
