Quantification of the wound healing using polarization-sensitive optical coherence tomography

Abstract: We use polarization-sensitive optical coherence tomography (PS-OCT) to monitor the wound healing process in vitro and in vivo, which are affected by various drugs. Five rabbit subjects are used for in vitro studies and another five are used for in vivo studies. The in vitro studies are conducted to compare the PS-OCT images with histopathology. For each subject, three biopsy lesions are created on each ear: one site is not treated (control); the second site is treated with sphingosylphosphorylcholine, which is… Show more

“…Figure 7j shows an example of scarred skin exhibiting significantly higher birefringence than normal skin (Figure 7i). Additionally, wound healing processes including collagen restoration can be followed with PS-OCT [180,181]. Moreover, Stokes vector based Via dermal birefringence, PS-OCT provides access to tissue alterations caused by deformation, scarring, and burns [106,[177][178][179].…”

“…Figure 7j shows an example of scarred skin exhibiting significantly higher birefringence than normal skin (Figure 7i). Additionally, wound healing processes including collagen restoration can be followed with PS-OCT [180,181]. Moreover, Stokes vector based depolarization imaging can reveal multiple scattering as well as pathological conditions in skin such as cancer [19,24,58], as will be discussed in the next section.…”

“…139 For example, quantification of the normalized birefringence and mean phase retardation during wound healing using PS-OCT has been demonstrated in an in vivo rabbit auricle model in 2006. 140 From monitoring the changes in birefringence over the healing process, they found an increase in birefringence with time. Gong et al 141 assessed the collagen structure of different human scars using an enface birefringence map calculated from the rate of change of the phase retardation.…”
