Figure 2 Magnification of a OCT image showing normal esophageal wall.
The OCT image shows a multiple-layer structure characterized by a superficial weakly scattering (hypo-reflective) layer, corresponding to the squamous epithelium, a highly scattering (hyper-reflective) layer corresponding to the lamina propria, a weakly scattering layer corresponding to the muscularis mucosae, difficult to recognize, a moderately scattering layer corresponding to the submucosa, and a weakly scattering, deep layer corresponding to muscolaris propria.
