Abstract
In this report we discuss some practical obstacles/pitfalls arising in realization of quantitative compressional OCE, as well as discuss possible ways of their resolution. More specifically we consider (i) complications in quantification of the Young modulus of tissues related to influence of partial adhesion between the OCT probe and pre-calibrated reference layers - "compliant sensors", (ii) distorting influence of surface curvature/corrugation on strain distribution in the tissue bulk, (iii) ways of enhancement of effective SNR in OCT-based strain mapping without periodic averaging, and (iv) potentially significant influence of nonlinearity of the elastic response of biological tissues on quantification of their stiffness.
