Recent advancements in the high-speed long-range optical coherence tomography (OCT) endoscopy allow characterization of tissue compliance in the upper airway, an indicator of collapsibility. However, the resolution and accuracy of localized tissue compliance measurement are currently limited by the lack of a reliable nonuniform rotational distortion (NURD) correction method. In this study, we developed a robust 2-step NURD correction algorithm that can be applied to the dynamic OCT images obtained during the compliance measurement. We demonstrated the utility of the NURD correction algorithm by characterizing the local compliance of nasopharynx from an awake human subject for the first time.
