      Deep learning classifier with optical coherence tomography images for early dental caries detection
      Dental caries is a microbial disease that results in localized dissolution of the mineral content of dental tissue. Despite considerable decline in the incidence of dental caries, it remains a major health problem in many societies. Early detection of incipient lesions at initial stages of demineralization can result in the implementation of non-surgical preventive approaches to reverse the demineralization process. In this paper, we present a novel approach combining deep ...

      Classification of human ovarian tissue using full field optical coherence tomography
      The feasibility of a full-field optical coherence tomography (FFOCT) system for rapid wide field optical analysis of normal and malignant human ovarian tissue pathologies was demonstrated. Five features were extracted from the normalized image histogram from 56 FFOCT images, based on the differences in the morphology of the normal and malignant tissue samples.

      Characterization of human oral tissues based on quantitative analysis of optical coherence tomography images
      In this paper, five types of tissues, human enamel, human cortical bone, human trabecular bone, muscular tissue, and fatty tissue were imaged ex vivo using optical coherence tomography (OCT). The specimens were prepared in blocks of 5 x 5 x 3 mm (width x length x height). The OCT imaging system was a swept source OCT system operating at wavelengths ranging between 1250 nm and 1360 nm with an average ...

      Tissue characterization using optical coherence tomography and cone beam computed tomography: A comparative pilot study
      Objectives To evaluate the ability of optical coherence tomography (OCT) in differentiating between human oral tissues in comparison with cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). Study design In this study, we imaged four types of tissues ex vivo , i.e., human enamel, human cortical bone, human trabecular bone, fatty tissue plus water and air using OCT (Axsun Inc. Billerica, MA). We then developed a method for qualitative and quantitative analysis of ...

      Correlating optical coherence elastography based strain measurements with collagen content of the human ovarian tissue
      In this manuscript, the initial feasibility of a catheter based phase stabilized swept source optical coherence tomography (OCT) system was studied for characterization of the strain inside different human ovarian tissue groups. The ovarian tissue samples were periodically compressed with 500 Hz square wave signal along the axial direction between the surface of an unfocused transducer and a glass cover slide. The displacement and corresponding strain were calculated during loading ...

      Estimation of elastic parameters of ovarian tissue using phase stabilized swept source optical-coherence tomography
      We have estimated the micro-mechanical properties of ovarian tissue using phase-sensitive swept source optical coherence tomography. Ovary samples were mechanically excited by periodical vibration of an ultrasound transducer. The displacement and strain of the tissues were calculated during loading. Significant difference in strain was observed between the normal and malignant ovary groups, which indicates much softer and heterogeneous tissue structure for malignant ovaries. The initial results show that the phase ...

      Optical and Photoacoustic Imaging for Ovarian Cancer Detection (Thesis)
      Ovarian cancer is the fifth most common cancer among women and has the highest mortality rate of all gynecologic cancers. Current clinical imaging modalities are limited by poor sensitivity and specificity. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop effective tools to detect ovarian cancer. In this dissertation, two imaging modalities, optical coherence tomography (OCT) and photoacoustic imaging have been investigated for ovarian cancer detection and characterization. In the first ...

      Accurate prediction of collapse temperature using optical coherence tomography-based freeze-drying microscopy
      The objective of this study was to assess the feasibility of developing and applying a laboratory tool that can provide three-dimensional product structural information during freeze-drying and which can accurately characterize the collapse temperature ( T c ) of pharmaceutical formulations designed for freeze-drying. A single-vial freeze dryer coupled with optical coherence tomography freeze-drying microscopy (OCTFDM) was developed to investigate the structure and T c of formulations in pharmaceutically relevant products containers ...

      Quantitative analysis of angle-resolved scattering properties of ovarian tissue using optical coherence tomography
      Angle-resolved optical scattering properties of ovarian tissue, on different optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging planes, were quantitatively measured by fitting the compounded OCT A-lines into a single scattering model. Higher cross correlation value of angle-resolved scattering coefficients between different OCT imaging planes was found in normal ovaries than was present in malignant ovaries. The mean cross correlation coefficient (MCC) was introduced in this pilot study to characterize and differentiate normal ...
