Abstract

Optical Coherence Tomography is a new technique mainly used in biomedical imaging. Here we present a Particle-Fixed Monte Carlo (PFMC) simulation for OCT signal. In PFMC model the scattering particles of the sample are assumed to be temporarily fixed randomly in simulation process of the backscattering light. The new model, beyond the convention Monte Carlo simulation, explains very well the exponential decay signal at the interface of different media layers in OCT experimental measurement.
