title = "Characterization of ovarian tissue using polarization-sensitive optical coherence tomography",
abstract = "We characterized ovarian tissue by using polarization-sensitive optical coherence tomography (PS-OCT). Phase retardation changing rate along with optical scattering coefficient and phase retardation were extracted from 33 ex vivo human ovaries from 18 patients. By using phase retardation changing rate as a classifier, we could achieve 71\% sensitivity and 100\% specificity. Combining those three parameters together, we could achieve 100\% sensitivity and 100\% specificity. These initial results showed that the quantitative analysis of PS-OCT could be a useful tool to characterize normal and malignant ovarian tissue.",
