Which consequence results when coherence is lost during Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT)?

💡 Explanation

Loss of coherence reduces visibility of interference fringes, because the interference of the reference and sample beams no longer constructively add to produce a strong, measurable signal enabling high resolution; therefore, axial resolution suffers rather than improve penetration or signal enhancement.
