Quotes

  1. What is novel about this whole approach and this work is that we’re using external magnetic forces to move nanoparticles within tissue, to modulate them...Most other particles will localize somewhere and typically sit there. They may provide a signal change, but they don’t physically move. No other particle is dynamic like this, which is a unique way to generate contrast.
    In New Imaging Method uses Magnetic Nanoparticles that Move
  2. So now we have a platform where we can target these to a tumor, find them with contrast, measure the mechanical properties, and treat it right there.
    In New Imaging Method uses Magnetic Nanoparticles that Move
  3. And this is found a day later after the surgery has ended....It means that the patient has to come back for another procedure, with all the risks and costs associated with that, and all the anxiety. Another downside for the patient is if there are any tumor cells left behind. These patients are likely to relapse, as there is a fairly high local recurrence rate of tumors that grow back in that area.
    In Optics may speed breast cancer diagnosis
  4. 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.
    In Optical Coherence Tomography Identifies Surgical Margins for Breast Cancer Intraoperatively
  5. 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

    Explore Article uspto.gov (Jul 6 2010)

    Magnetomotive optical coherence tomography A spectral-domain magnetomotive optical coherence tomography apparatus, includes (a) a spectral-domain optical coherence tomography device, and (b) a magnet. The magnet is coupled with the optical coherence tomography device so that changes in the magnetic field are coordinated with collection of data by the optical coherence tomography device. This device may be used to examine a sample by spectral-domain magnetomotive optical coherence tomography, which includes examining the sample with a ... (Read Full Article)

    Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Microscopy: Microscopic Laser Radar Combining optical coherence tomography instrumentation and the principles of synthetic aperture radar, researchers have developed a new method for reconstructing 3-D optical images—even in regions that are out of focus in the raw data. Doctors may soon be able to use this approach as a noninvasive diagnostic tool in clinical settings. Microscopic 3-D optical imaging provides guidance to tomorrow’s doctors during surgical interventions. In many clinical scenarios, doctors require high-resolution ... (Read Full Article)

    Optical Coherence Tomography: The Intraoperative Assessment of Lymph Nodes in Breast Cancer During breast-conserving surgeries, axillary lymph nodes draining from the primary tumor site are removed for disease staging. Although a high number of lymph nodes are often resected during sentinel and lymph-node dissections, only a relatively small percentage of nodes are found to be metastatic, a fact that must be weighed against potential complications such as lymphedema.Without a real-time in vivo or in situ intraoperative imaging tool to provide a microscopic ...
