Abstract

Systems, methods, and other embodiments associated with characterizing Radio Frequency Ablation (RFA) lesions using Optica Coherence Tomography (OCT) are described. One example method includes acquiring an OCT signal from a Region Of Interest (ROI) in an ablated material. The example method may also include determining whether a lesion was formed by the ablation by analyzing optical properties of the ROI as recorded in the OCT signal.
