Implication

Provides proof-of-concept for arterial tissue characterization in animals; leaves open translation to human in vivo use.

Structured PICO

P
Population
Samples of fresh arteries
I
Intervention
Optical low-coherence reflectometry with a single-mode fiber probe
O
Outcome
Determination of optical parameters (index of refraction, transmission properties) and tissue thicknesssurrogate

Optical low-coherence reflectometry can be used to noninvasively determine optical parameters and thickness of arterial tissue.
