      Coherence function-encoded optical palpation
      Optical palpation maps stress at the surface of biological tissue into 2D images. It relies on measuring surface deformation of a compliant layer, which to date has been performed with optical coherence tomography (OCT). OCT-based optical palpation holds promise for improved clinical diagnostics; however, the complexity and cost hinder broad adoption. In this Letter, we introduce coherence function-encoded optical palpation (CFE-OP) using a novel optical profilometry technique that exploits the ...

      Imaging the small with the small: Prospects for photonics in micro-endomicroscopy for minimally invasive cellular-resolution bioimaging
      Many bioimaging studies, including those in engineered tissue constructs, intravital microscopy in animal models, and medical imaging in humans, require cellular-resolution imaging of structures deep within a sample. Yet, many of the current approaches are limited in terms of resolution, but also in invasiveness, repeatable imaging of the same location, and accessible imaging depth. We coin the term micro-endomicroscope to describe the emerging class of small, cellular-resolution endoscopic imaging systems ...

      Polarization properties of retinal blood vessel walls measured with polarization sensitive optical coherence tomography
      A new method based on polarization-sensitive optical coherence tomography (PS-OCT) is introduced to determine the polarization properties of human retinal vessel walls, in vivo . Measurements were obtained near the optic nerve head of three healthy human subjects. The double pass phase retardation per unit depth (DPPR/UD), which is proportional to the birefringence, is higher in artery walls, presumably because of the presence of muscle tissue. Measurements in surrounding retinal ...

      Coronary artery segmentation from intravascular optical coherence tomography using deep capsules
      The segmentation and analysis of coronary arteries from intravascular optical coherence tomography (IVOCT) is an important aspect of diagnosing and managing coronary artery disease. Current image processing methods are hindered by the time needed to generate expert-labelled datasets and the potential for bias during the analysis. Therefore, automated, robust, unbiased and timely geometry extraction from IVOCT, using image processing, would be beneficial to clinicians. With clinical application in mind, we ...

      Increased interdigitation zone visibility on optical coherence tomography following systemic fibroblast growth factor receptor 1‐3 tyrosine kinase inhibitor anticancer therapy
      Background To describe ocular adverse events and retinal changes during fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) inhibitor (AZD4547) anticancer therapy. Methods This is a sub‐study examining ocular adverse effects from AZD4547 therapy (single‐centre, open‐label, single arm phase II clinical trial). Comprehensive ocular examinations were performed 3 weekly in 24 patients. Macular optical coherence tomography (OCT) scan (30 0 25 0 ) was obtained at each visit and OCT parameters ...

      Deep feature loss to denoise OCT images using deep neural networks
      Significance: Speckle noise is an inherent limitation of optical coherence tomography (OCT) images that makes clinical interpretation challenging. The recent emergence of deep learning could offer a reliable method to reduce noise in OCT images. Aim: We sought to investigate the use of deep features (VGG) to limit the effect of blurriness and increase perceptual sharpness and to evaluate its impact on the performance of OCT image denoising (DnCNN). Approach ...

      Optical palpation for tumor margin assessment in breast-conserving surgery
      Intraoperative margin assessment is needed to reduce the re-excision rate of breast-conserving surgery. One possibility is optical palpation, a tactile imaging technique that maps stress (force applied across the tissue surface) as an indicator of tissue stiffness. Images (optical palpograms) are generated by compressing a transparent silicone layer on the tissue and measuring the layer deformation using optical coherence tomography (OCT). This paper reports, for the first time, the diagnostic ...

      Analysis of sensitivity in quantitative micro-elastography
      Quantitative micro-elastography (QME), a variant of compression optical coherence elastography (OCE), is a technique to image tissue elasticity on the microscale. QME has been proposed for a range of applications, most notably tumor margin assessment in breast-conserving surgery. However, QME sensitivity, a key imaging metric, has yet to be systematically analyzed. Consequently, it is difficult to optimize imaging performance and to assess the potential of QME in new application areas ...

      Adaptation to Exercise Training in Conduit Arteries and Cutaneous Microvessels in Humans: An Optical Coherence Tomography Study
      Introduction: Exercise training has anti-atherogenic impacts on conduit and resistance artery function and structure in humans and induces angiogenic changes in skeletal muscle. However, training-induced adaptation in cutaneous microvessels is poorly understood, partly due to technological limitations. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a novel high resolution imaging technique capable of visualising cutaneous microvasculature at a resolution of ~30m. We utilised OCT to visualise the impacts of training on cutaneous microvessels ...

      Optimizing 3D retinal vasculature imaging in diabetic retinopathy using registration and averaging of OCT-A
      High resolution visualization of optical coherence tomography (OCT) and OCT angiography (OCT-A) data is required to fully take advantage of the imaging modality's three-dimensional nature. However, artifacts induced by patient motion often degrade OCT-A data quality. This is especially true for patients with deteriorated focal vision, such as those with diabetic retinopathy (DR). We propose a novel methodology for software-based OCT-A motion correction achieved through serial acquisition, volumetric registration ...

      Background: Risk stratification using non-invasive imaging of the coronary vessels is emerging as an optimal standard of care for patients with dyslipidemias. Of particular interest is the evaluation of the left main coronary artery (LMCA), where calcium deposition appears to be a predictor of cardiovascular events. Methods: In coronary patients, we evaluated wall thickness and internal diameter of the LMCA examined by transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) and compared these with findings ...
