Novel optical imaging technique to determine the 3-D orientation of collagen fibers in cartilage: variable-incidence angle polarization-sensitive optical coherence tomography

Summary Objective To investigate a novel optical method to determine the three dimensional (3-D) structure of articular cartilage collagen non-destructively. Methods Polarization-sensitive optical coherence tomography was used to determine the apparent optical birefringence of articular cartilage fo...
