Parametric imaging of attenuation using optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a powerful tool for assessing changes in tissue morphology associated with disease. Several models are available for extracting the optical properties of tissue from OCT images. However, the accuracy of these models and their dependence on the tissue optical properties has yet to be established. Here, we investigate the accuracy of several OCT models and assess their suitability for extracting optical properties. We establish that the single scattering models produce more precise results (lower variance), but the EHF model is more accurate. Furthermore, the accuracy of the single scattering model degrades as the scattering coefficient and thickness of the tissue increase. We intend that the results of this study will aid in the development of standardized protocols for extracting optical properties from OCT images.
