Interstitial Doppler optical coherence tomography

Abstract: Doppler optical coherence tomography (OCT) can image tissue structure and blood flow at micrometer-scale resolution but has limited imaging depth. We report a novel, linear-scanning, needle-based Doppler OCT system using angle-polished gradient-index or ball-lensed fibers. A prototype system with a 19-guage (diameter of approximately 0.9 mm) echogenic needle is constructed and demonstrates in vivo imaging of bidirectional blood flow in rat leg and abdominal cavity. To our knowledge, this is the first demonstra… Show more

“…37 Needle-based OCT catheters have been developed. [38][39][40][41][42][43] Needle-based devices require fl exibility to be compatible with standard bronchoscopes and/or TBNA needles. The previously developed OCT catheters are not capable of imaging and acquiring tissue through the same needle.…”

“…Other important technical characteristics of an OCT probe are scanning range, field of view, speed, and flexibility. OCT probes can be divided into two groups based on their scan modes-side-imaging 37,[89][90][91][92][93][94][95][96][97] and forward-imaging probes. 38,[98][99][100][101][102][103][104][105][106][107] In the past years, various OCT probes have been built to target specific applications, which we will discuss below.…”

“…An advantage of this technique is that light waves, unlike sound waves, do not need a liquid based coupling medium which makes it ideal for use in the airways. OCT allows imaging of cellular and extracellular structures from analysis of the backscattered light with a spatial resolution of around 3-15 µm and a depth penetration of around 2 mm to provide near-histological images in the bronchial wall [Fujimoto et al 1995;Huang et al 1991;Lam et al 2008;Li et al 2006;Tearney et al 1997;Tsuboi et al 2005;Whiteman et al 2006;Yang and Vitkin, 2006]. Early studies showed that dysplasia can be distinguished from metaplasia, hyperplasia or normal tissue and that carcinoma in situ (CIS) can be distinguished from invasive cancer [Lam et al 2008;Tsuboi et al 2005].…”

“…The basement membrane became disrupted or disappeared with invasive carcinoma [Lam et al 2008]. To further advance this technology, systems with higher resolution and Doppler capability that can measure both tissue microstructures in greater detail and microvascular blood flow may be useful [Yang and Vitkin, 2006]. Doppler OCT systems already exist that can detect very slow blood flow (<20 µm/s in blood vessels as small as about 15 µm diameter).…”
