  3. Distribution of airway narrowing responses across generations and at branching points, assessed in vitro by anatomical optical coherence tomography

    Explore Article Respiratory Research (Jan 23 2010) Bronchoscopy

    Distribution of airway narrowing responses across generations and at branching points, assessed in vitro by anatomical optical coherence tomography Background Previous histological and imaging studies have shown the presence of variability in the degree of bronchoconstriction of airways sampled at different locations in the lung (i.e., heterogeneity). Heterogeneity can occur at different airway generations and at branching points in the bronchial tree. Whilst heterogeneity has been detected by previous experimental approaches its spatial relationship either within or between airways is unknown. Methods In this study, distribution of airway narrowing ... (Read Full Article)

    Explore Article opticsinfobase.org (Nov 12 2009)

    In vivo dynamic optical coherence elastography using a ring actuator We present a novel sample arm arrangement for dynamic optical coherence elastography based on excitation by a ring actuator. The actuator enables coincident excitation and imaging to be performed on a sample, facilitating in vivo operation. Sub-micrometer vibrations in the audio frequency range were coupled to samples that were imaged using optical coherence tomography. The resulting vibration amplitude and microstrain maps are presented for bilayer silicone phantoms and multiple skin ... (Read Full Article)

  6. In vivo 4D imaging of the human lower airway using anatomical optical coherence tomography

    Explore Article SPIE Digital Library (Oct 5 2009) Endoscopy

    Anatomical optical coherence tomography (aOCT) is a long-range, fibre-optic endoscopic imaging modality capable of quantifying the size and shape of the human airway lumen. This paper presents the first application of respiratory gating to 3D aOCT volumetric data. A sequence of time-gated data volumes are generated, characterising the dynamic behaviour of a segment of the lower airway over an averaged respiratory cycle. The technique is demonstrated on in vivo data ... (Read Full Article)

  7. Mapping Tissue Optical Attenuation to Identify Cancer Using Optical Coherence Tomography

    Explore Article SpringerLink Home (Sep 30 2009) Oncology

    The lymphatic system is a common route for the spread of cancer and the identification of lymph node metastases is a key task during cancer surgery. This paper demonstrates the use of optical coherence tomography to construct parametric images of lymph nodes. It describes a method to automatically estimate the optical attenuation coefficient of tissue. By mapping the optical attenuation coefficient at each location in the scan, it is possible ...

    Respiratory gating of anatomical optical coherence tomography images of the human airway Anatomical optical coherence tomography (aOCT) is a longrange endoscopic imaging modality capable of quantifying size and shape of the human airway. A challenge to its in vivo application is motion artifact due to respiratory-related movement of the airway walls. This paper represents the first demonstration of respiratory gating of aOCT airway data, and introduces a novel error measure to guide appropriate parameter selection. Results indicate that at least four gates ... (Read Full Article)
