Abstract
Development of computer algorithms of OCT image processing to obtain numerical information on the state of biotissue is an important issue for clinical application of OCT. Optical scattering parameters of the tissue can serve as numerical criteria of the tissue state. In many cases, the morphological structure of tissue may be modeled as a set of uniformly scattering, locaily flat layers. When describing light propagation in tissue, scattering in each layer may be characterized by a small number of parameters. Then, a set of scattering parameters of all layers can be used for adequate numerical estimation of the tissue state.
