Angle-Resolved Low-Coherence Interferometry

**Semantic type:** Diagnostic Procedure

**Definition:** A biomedical imaging technology which uses the properties of scattered light to measure the size of cell structures at submicron-level accuracy. It combines the depth-resolving ability of low-coherence techniques with the ability to measure subcellular morphologies of light scattering. By isolating the angular scattering distribution from cellular nuclei at various tissue depths, a/LCI can provide biomarkers based on morphology and provide feedback to physicians to guide physical biopsies.

**Synonyms:** - a/LCI
