P. 2135-2140Abstract: The paper presents the optical coherence tomography investigations of tissue swelling caused by acute and chronic inflammations including lymphedema. Since lymphedema is characterized by a higher content of proteins in the intercellular fluid, the lymphedematous tissue model is based on the different fluid content in the muscular tissue. It is shown that Young’s modulus of the tissue sample reduces monotonically with increasing intercellular protein fraction.Библиогр.: 32 назв.
