Abstract:

Optical CoherenceTomography (OCT) is an established medical imaging technology which isanalogous to ultrasound imaging but has significantly higher resolution (~10 mm)to enable 3D imaging of tissue microstructures in situ and in real-time with apenetration depth of ~1-2 mm. OCT can be extended to functional imagingmodalities such as Doppler OCT (DOCT) for blood flow detection andpolarization-sensitive OCT (PS-OCT) for detection of tissue birefringence. Wehave developed a forwarding-imaging needle-type OCT probe for avoiding thehemorrhage and guiding neurosurgical interventions. The needle probe has a thindiameter of 0.7 mm. The feasibility of vessel detection and neurosurgicalguidance were demonstrated on sheep brain in vivo and human brain ex vivo. Inaddition, we further reduced the probe size to 0.3 mm using an optical Dopplersensing (ODS) fiber probe that can integrate with microelectrode recording(MER) to detect the blood vessels lying ahead to improve the safety of thisprocedure. We further combine high-resolution OCT with large-field-of-viewmagnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to provide multi-scale imaging.
