Multilayer tissue phantoms with embedded capillary system for OCT and DOCT imaging

We report about manufacturing of fully functional capillary network embedded into the multilayer tissue phantom. Polyvinyl chloride-plastisol was used as a host transparent medium. Scattering was introduced by adding the TiO2submicron particles. OCT technique was used to characterize the manufactured phantoms and to monitor the vessels filling with different liquids.
