Abstract

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) technology can be used to obtain high resolution cross sectional image of living biological tissues. Early study suggested that some tissue optical properties could also be measured using OCT. In this study, OCT was used to measure the total attenuation coefficient of living kidney of rat and dog models. Results suggested that the total attenuation coefficient of the superficial cortex layer could by derived from a single scattering model. The total attenuation coefficient could be affected by ischemia.
