Inverse scattering for rotationally scanned optical coherence tomography

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Optical coherence tomography of luminal structures, such as for intravascular or gastrointestinal imaging, is performed by using a fiber-optic catheter as a beam-delivery probe. The interrogating beam is scanned angularly by rotating the fiber around a fixed central axis. Because the beam is focused only at a fixed distance from the center of the fiber, only scatterers near this distance are resolved. We present a solution of the inverse scattering problem that provides an estimate of the susceptibility of the sample for an angularly scanned Gaussian beam focused at a fixed distance from the origin. This solution provides quantitatively meaningful reconstructions while also extending the volume of the sample that is resolvable by the instrument.
