Abstract

We propose an algorithm to compensate for the refractive index error in the optical coherence tomography (OCT) images of multilayer tissues, such as skin. The performance of the proposed method has been evaluated on one- and two-layer solid phantoms, as well as the skin of rat paw.

Keywords: dermatology; optical coherence tomography; refractive index correction; skin.
