We report the use of M mode swept source optical coherence tomography (SS OCT) for measur ing sodium chloride (NaCl) salt concentrations in liquid phantoms and in drawn whole blood based on tem poral dynamics of light scattering. The Brownian motion of scattering particle is affected due to the change in viscosity of liquid. An autocorrelation function was determined from the power spectrum of SS OCT signal and then was fit by mono and double exponential function to obtain decorrelation time. These translational decorrelation times corresponding to translational diffusion coefficients enabled us to find the controlled vis cosity of the medium. The viscosities of the media were compared with literature values and a fair/excellent agreement was observed. Thus, the technique has ability to quantify the salt levels in terms of viscosity in non flowing medium suspensions and many research routes necessary to determine its potential for in vivo appli cations.
