    1. “ Intraoperative OCT has the potential to provide diagnostically useful information about margin status in real time, at the point of care, rather than relying on postoperative histopathology. ”
      By Stephen A. Boppart
    2. “ The imaging depth was equivalent to the tissue depth that pathologists typically examine postoperatively to determine if the margin is negative, close or positive...Image features could also be used to identify structures such as surface blood or cauterised tissue and distinguish these image artifacts from normal and tumour tissue ”

    1. PHILADELPHIA -- November 18, 2009 -- Intraoperative optical coherence tomography (OCT) rapidly images larger breast tumour margin areas, dramatically improving the microscopic sampling rate or analysis of the margin, according to research published in the November 15 issue of Cancer Research. "Intraoperative OCT has the potential to provide diagnostically useful information about margin status in real time, at the point of care, rather than relying on postoperative histopathology," said Stephen Boppart, MD, Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology, University of Illinois at Urbana, Champaign, Illinois. Dr. Boppart and colleagues demonstrated the feasibility of using this technology for evaluating surgical margins during ... (Read Full Article)
