Imaging engineered tissues using structural and functional optical coherence tomography.

abstract：:Clinicians need a way to rapidly and reliably test the correct functioning of near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS)-based oximeters. Therefore, optical phantoms for quality assessment of NIRS oximeters are needed. The fabrication of such phantoms that mimic the optical properties of biological tissue in the NIR range repr...
