Biofilms are typically heterogeneous in morphology, structure, and composition, resulting in nonuniform mechanical properties. The distribution of mechanical properties, in turn, determines the biofilm behavior, such as deformation and detachment. Most biofilm models neglect biofilm heterogeneity, especially at the microscale. In this study, an image-based modeling approach was developed to transform two-dimensional optical coherence tomography (OCT) biofilm images to a pixel-scale non-Newtonian viscosity map of the biofilm. The map
