Meanings of optical backscatter in inglés

Conclusion: OCT can effectively differentiate normal cortex from intracortical melanoma based on variations in optical backscatter.

Changes in optical backscatter intensity were used to identify regions of tumor and to locate tumor margins.

Results: Two-dimensional images showed increased optical backscatter from regions of tumor, which was quantitatively used to determine the tumor margin.

Acquisition rates were fast enough to capture dynamic changes in optical backscatter which corresponded to thermal tissue damage during laser ablation.
