2. Coronary Artery Segmentation from Intravascular Optical Coherence Tomography Using Deep Capsules
  
  Explore arxiv.org Mar 19 2020 Cardiology
  
  The segmentation and analysis of coronary arteries from intravascular optical coherence tomography (IVOCT) is an important aspect of diagnosing and managing coronary artery disease. However, automated, robust IVOCT image analysis tools are lacking. Current image processing methods are hindered by the time needed to generate these expert-labelled datasets and also the potential for bias during the analysis. Here we present a new deep learning method based on capsules to automatically ...

3. Three‐dimensional mapping of the attenuation coefficient in optical coherence tomography to enhance breast tissue micro‐architecture contrast
  
  Explore Wiley Online Library Mar 12 2020 Oncology
  
  Effective intraoperative tumor margin assessment is needed to reduce re‐excision rates in breast‐conserving surgery (BCS). Mapping the attenuation coefficient in optical coherence tomography (OCT) throughout a sample to create an image (attenuation imaging) is one promising approach. For the first time, three‐dimensional OCT attenuation imaging of human breast tissue micro‐architecture using a wide‐field (up to ~45453.5mm) imaging system is demonstrated. Representative results from three ...

4. Handheld volumetric manual compression‐based quantitative micro‐elastography
  
  Explore Wiley Online Library Feb 21 2020
  
  Compression optical coherence elastography typically requires a mechanical actuator to impart a controlled uniform strain to the sample. However, for handheld scanning, this adds complexity to the design of the probe and the actuator stroke limits the amount of strain that can be applied. In this work, we present a new volumetric imaging approach that utilises bidirectional manual compression via the natural motion of the user's hand to induce ...

5. RTVue XR AngioVue Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography Software Upgrade Impacts on Retinal Thickness and Vessel Density Measurements
  
  Explore TVST Journal Feb 16 2020 Ophthalmology
  
  Purpose : To determine the impact of an AngioVue software upgrade on total retinal thickness (RT) and inner retinal vessel density (VD) measurements derived from optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA). Methods : Optovue OCTA images (3 3 mm) from 126 individuals (105 healthy eyes and 72 eyes with retinal disease) were acquired before an upgrade of the AngioVue software, which resulted in an inward shift of the outer boundary of the inner ...

6. Vectorial birefringence imaging by optical coherence microscopy for assessing fibrillar microstructures in the cornea and limbus
  
  Explore OSA | OSA Publishing Jan 25 2020 Microscopy
  
  The organization of fibrillar tissue on the micrometer scale carries direct implications for health and disease but remains difficult to assess in vivo . Polarization-sensitive optical coherence tomography measures birefringence, which relates to the microscopic arrangement of fibrillar tissue components. Here, we demonstrate a critical improvement in leveraging this contrast mechanism by employing the improved spatial resolution of focus-extended optical coherence microscopy (1.4 m axially in air and 1.6 ...

  Explore Wiley Online Library Nov 14 2019 Ophthalmology
  
  Importance All automated image quality indicators for en face optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) images require gold standard validation for determining optimal thresholds. Background A manual grading system (gold standard) for OCTA images was validated and compared to two automated image quality indicators: signal strength index (SSI) and scan quality index (SQI) generated by different software versions of the Optovue OCTA device. Design Retrospective cross‐sectional study. Participants 52 eyes ...

9. Clinical feasibility of optical coherence elastography for tumour margin assessment in breast-conserving surgery (Thesis)
  
  Explore the UWA Profiles and Research Repository Nov 4 2019 Student Theses
  
  Currently, 20-30% of patients undergoing breast-conserving surgery require a second surgery due to tumour being found within the margin of the excised lump, determined days following surgery. The work presented in this thesis aims to develop a widefield optical coherence elastography system suitable for intraoperative margin assessment to reduce additional procedures. Early feasibility studies are presented investigating the ability for three optical coherence elastography variants to visualise a range of ...

  Explore Nature Publishing Group Sep 16 2019 Ophthalmology
  
  The analysis of the choroid in the eye is crucial for our understanding of a range of ocular diseases and physiological processes. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging provides the ability to capture highly detailed cross-sectional images of the choroid yet only a very limited number of commercial OCT instruments provide methods for automatic segmentation of choroidal tissue. Manual annotation of the choroidal boundaries is often performed but this is impractical ...

12. The Effect of Stent Artefact on Quantification of Plaque Features Using Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT): A Feasibility and Clinical Utility Study
  
  Explore ScienceDirect Jul 7 2019 Cardiology
  
  Background Optical coherence tomography (OCT) can detect detailed plaque features in native coronary arteries. Stent struts cause shadows that partially obscure the vessel wall, but plaque features can still be seen. We investigated the impact of stent artefact on plaque quantification and whether the plaque behind struts is associated with microvascular dysfunction. Methods Patients retrospectively recruited from two centres, underwent OCT pre- and post-stenting on the same vessel segment. Lipid ...

  Stromal collagen organization has been identified as a potential prognostic indicator in a variety of cancers and other diseases accompanied by fibrosis. Changes in the connective tissue are increasingly considered for grading dysplasia and progress of oral squamous cell carcinoma, investigated mainly ex vivo by histopathology. In this study, polarization-sensitive optical coherence tomography (PS-OCT) with local phase retardation imaging is used for the first time to visualize depth-resolved (i.e ...
