In vivo analysis of burns in a mouse model using spectroscopic optical coherence tomography.

Journal Article

Spectroscopic analysis of biological tissues can provide insight into changes in structure and function due to disease or injury. Depth-resolved spectroscopic measurements can be implemented for tissue imaging using optical coherence tomography (OCT). Here, spectroscopic OCT is applied to in vivo measurement of burn injury in a mouse model. Data processing and analysis methods are compared for their accuracy. Overall accuracy in classifying burned tissue was found to be as high as 91%, producing an area under the curve of a receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.97. The origins of the spectral changes are identified by correlation with histopathology.
