An injury causes changes in the optical attenuation coefficient of light beam travelling inside a tissue. We report a method called tissue injury mapping (TIM), which utilizes a non-invasive in vivo optical coherence tomography approach to generate optical attenuation coefficient and microvascular map of the injured tissue. Using TIM, the infarct region development in mouse cerebral cortex during stroke is visualized. Moreover, we demonstrate the changes in human facial skin structure and microvasculature during an acne lesion development from initiation to scarring. The results indicate that TIM may be used to aid in the characterization and the treatment of various diseases by enabling a high resolution detection of tissue structural and microvascular changes.
