The table above provides a summary of the features observed in each of the tissue types against those in reference publications. It also shows a comparison of the number of features observed in literature for each tissue type and the number of features observed using WF-OCT. Two tissue types were not included in the table because no reference publications showing the OCT images for these tissue types were available—Spleen and Adrenal Glands.
