Optical elastography, the use of optics to characterize and map the mechanical properties of
biological tissue, involves measuring the deformation of tissue in response to a load. Such …

Simple Summary Prostate cancer is a malignancy that affects a high number of men all over
the world. When indolent, prostate cancer can remain silent for years without needing …

Probing the mechanical properties of tissue on the microscale could aid in the identification
of diseased tissues that are inadequately detected using palpation or current clinical …

In compressional optical coherence elastography, phase-variation gradients are used for
estimating quasistatic strains created in tissue. Using reference and deformed optical …

An accurate intraoperative identification of malignant tissue is a challenge in the surgical
