Surface adjusted OCT image (averaged over 5 B-scans) and extracted pure component spectra from the biopsies. Most of the biopsy samples have an uneven surface, resulting in challenges during the analysis, (a) To remove the curvature observed in the OCT images an inhouse developed algorithm, based on gradient surface position detection was used to determine the surface location and adjust, i.e. flattening, the surface, (b).
