Optical properties extracted from OCT images of melanoma and benign nevi, and nearby healthy skin for ten arbitrarily selected subjects. Scattering coefficients (A), absorption coefficients (B), and anisotropy factor of melanoma lesions and their nearby healthy skin (C). Scattering coefficients (D), absorption coefficients (E), and anisotropy factor of benign nevi and their nearby healthy skin (F). G-L, Side-by-side comparison of the optical properties, the normalized to nearby healthy tissue of melanoma versus benign nevi: G-l, normalized means of scattering coefficient, absorption coefficient, and anisotropy factor, respectively. J-L, the normalized SDs of the scattering coefficient, the absorption coefficient, and the anisotropy factor, respectively.
