In vivo dynamic optical coherence elastography using a ring actuator

Abstract: 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 sites on a human subject.… Show more

“…The thickness assessment of different layers of bladder has potential to aid the diagnosis of bladder pathological conditions which related to layer thickness change. The results estimated from the phase velocity curves can be cross-validated using vibration optical coherence elastography (OCE) [46][47][48][49], as shown in Fig. 6(a) and 6(b).…”

“…General OCE techniques employ a loading device to induce tissue deformation and utilize OCT-based displacement-detection technique to monitor the dynamic response of the tissue [34][35][36]. The feasibilities of using OCE for three-dimensional elastic imaging [37,38], in vivo detection [39][40][41] and Young's modulus measurement [42][43][44] have been demonstrated on tissue-mimicking phantoms and different types of biological tissues, such as skin and soft-tissue tumor.…”

“…Development and modifications to the hardware, electronics, and software of an existing multi-axis microrobot are detailed. Linear dynamic and Wiener static nonlinear stochastic system identification protocols have been adapted to a device that is more versatile than those used in previous dynamic skin studies [21,23,24,[30][31][32][33][34][35]. Stochastic system identification was applied to the volar forearm and thenar eminence, the latter being a location for which there was little dynamic data.…”

“…The estimates of skin properties can be affected by the level of preload on the skin, which can place the local perturbations at an unknown location along the full-scale force-displacement curve. In addition, very few deformation devices have attempted to characterize the dynamic properties of skin [20][21][22][23][24][25], with the majority opting to minimize viscous effects by perturbing at quasi-static rates. A device that can perturb skin throughout its nonlinear stress-strain curve, at varying rates, may provide the basis for standardized testing of skin.…”
