Ex vivo Imaging of Human Pathologies with Integrated Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) and Optical Coherence Microscopy (OCM)

چکیده
We report an imaging study using integrated 3D-OCT and OCM for the assessment of various human thyroid and breast pathologies. The 3D-OCT data sets enable en face projection imaging, which provides large field of view with uniform focus and signal level, while OCM provides high magnification that enables cellular resolution imaging. We have demonstrated that the integrated 3D-OCT and OCM technology provide a substantial improvement over standard OCT for the visualization of tissue pathology and can serve as a useful imaging tool in the clinical settings.

Multiscale imaging of human thyroid pathologies using integrated Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) and Optical Coherence Microscopy (OCM)
We evaluate the feasibility of optical coherence tomography (OCT) and optical coherence microscopy (OCM) for imaging of benign and malignant thyroid lesions ex vivo using intrinsic optical contrast. Thirty four thyroid gland specimens were imaged from 17 patients, covering a spectrum of pathology, ranging from normal thyroid to neoplasia and benign disease. The integrated OCT and OCM imaging sy...

Three-dimensional (3D) tissue imaging methods are expected to improve surgical management of cancer. In this study, we examined the feasibility of two 3D imaging technologies, optical coherence tomography (OCT) and optical coherence microscopy (OCM), to view human breast specimens based on intrinsic optical contrast. Specifically, we imaged 44 ex vivo breast specimens including 34 benign and 10...

متن کاملCellular resolution ex vivo imaging of gastrointestinal tissues with optical coherence microscopy.
Optical coherence microscopy (OCM) combines confocal microscopy and optical coherence tomography (OCT) to improve imaging depth and contrast, enabling cellular imaging in human tissues. We aim to investigate OCM for ex vivo imaging of upper and lower gastrointestinal tract tissues, to establish correlations between OCM imaging and histology, and to provide a baseline for future endoscopic studi...
