SS-OCT SA

Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is a non-invasive imaging technology widely used in endoscopic examinations. Saturation artifacts occur when the intensity of the light signal received by the detector exceeds its dynamic range, causing image distortion. This distortion can manifest as excessive brightness or blurriness in specific areas of the image, thereby affecting the quality of the imaging. In endoscopic OCT imaging, this phenomenon is particularly common due to the varying reflective properties of tissues, which can lead to significant differences in light signal intensity across different areas. This dataset comes from a custom-built endoscopy SS-OCT system, featuring a 1310 nm swept source with a 100 nm bandwidth and 100 kHz sweep frequency. A unique ball-lens-based probe, integrated with a motor drive for 3D scanning, was employed for in vivo imaging experiments on mouse colon lumens. This dataset contains 43 source data pairs and 30 testing images.
