1. Assessment of arterial characteristics in human atherosclerosis by extracting optical properties from polarization-sensitive optical coherence tomography.
   Opt Express. 2008 May 26;16(11):8117-25
   Authors: Kuo WC, Hsiung MW, Shyu JJ, Chou NK, Yang PN
   In this research, we assessed arterial characteristics in human atherosclerosis by determining both scattering and birefringence properties of vessel tissue from polarization-sensitive optical coherence tomography (PS-OCT) images. We demonstrated that optical characteristics including scattering coefficient (?(s)), effective anisotropy factor (g(eff)), birefringence coefficient (?n), and fast-axis angle (beta) of normal and different kinds of atherosclerotic lesions in human vessels can be quantitatively described. ...
