Abstract
The current study is aimed at investigating the influence of radiotherapy on the optical properties of white matter in patients with brain gliomas using cross-polarization OCT. It was performed on ex vivo samples of peritumoral white matter collected from patients with primary surgery and patients who underwent a course of radiotherapy before surgery. The enhancement of scattering properties in case of use of radiotherapy was detected and the optical coefficients that most accurately reflect the relationship between the optical and morphological properties of white matter in both groups of patients were determined.
