Diagnosis of Articular Cartilage Damage by Polarization Sensitive Optical Coherence Tomography and the Extracted Optical Properties

Abstract: Abstract-This paper presents a diagnosis method for articular cartilage damage using polarization-sensitive optical coherence tomography (PS-OCT). Through signal analysis, the optical characteristics of intact cartilage and different types of mild lesions within cartilages can be quantified from measures such as the scattering coefficient (μ s ), effective anisotropy factor (g eff ), and birefringence coefficient (Δn). Our preliminary investigation using porcine articular cartilage indicated that both subsurfa… Show more

“…In dermatology PS-OCT has also been used to asses dermal photoageing [155], and for the identification and delineation of basal cell carcinoma [156]. In osteoarthritis, PS-OCT has been used for the assessment of cartilage [157][158][159][160][161].…”
