| Research Abstract |
In this study, based on micro-tomographical visulalizing capability of OCT, multi-functional OCT was developed, which could extract a variety of biological functional information from low-coherence interference signals of tissue. OCSA and OCSE were constructed as two diagnostic systems of micro bio-mechanical properties, e.g. strain and stress, respectively. Furthermore, OCM were also built up as a biochemical monitoring system of water content in tissue. After some validation studies, OCSA and OCM were in vivo applied to skin and cartilage tissue to observe OCSE was applied to engineering polymer materials so as to verify stress visualization. As a result, the proposed multi-function OCT was proven to be an effective tool of biological diagnosis.
