Diffuse optical spectroscopy imaging (DOSI) has shown great potential for the early detection of non-responding
tumors during neoadjuvant chemotherapy in breast cancer, already one day after therapy starts. Patients with rectal
cancer receive similar chemotherapy treatment. The rectum geometry and tissue properties of healthy and tumor
tissue in the rectum and the requirement of surface contact impose constraints on the probe design.
In this work we present the design of a DOSI probe with the aim of early chemotherapy/radiotherapy
effectiveness detection in rectal tumors. We show using Monte Carlo simulations and phantom measurements that
the colon tissue can be characterized reliably using a source-detector separation in the order of 10 mm. We present a
design and rapid prototype of a probe for DOSI measurements that can be mounted on a standard laparoscope and
that fits through a standard rectoscope. Using predominantly clinically approved components we aim at fast clinical
translation.

We developed a multispectral fluorescence-reflectance scanning fiber endoscope (SFE) for wide-field molecular imaging
of fluorescence-labeled molecular probes. Concurrent multi-channels imaging with the wide-field SFE also allows for
real-time mitigation of background autofluorescence (AF) signal, especially when the FDA approved fluorescein is used
as the target fluorophore. In the current study, we demonstrated a real-time AF mitigation algorithm on a tissue phantom
which featured molecular probe targeted cells of high grade dysplasia on a substrate containing AF species. The targetto-
background ratio was enhanced by over an order of magnitude when applying the real-time AF mitigation algorithm.
By minimizing the background signal, multispectral fluorescence imaging can provide sufficient image contrast and
quantitative target information for detecting small pre-cancerous lesions in vivo.

We present the design for an endoscopic system capable of imaging tissues of the ovary at two selected imaging depths
simultaneously. The method utilizes a multiplexed volume hologram to select wavefronts from different depths within
the tissue. It is the first demonstration of an endoscopic volume holographic imaging system. The endoscope uses both
gradient index (GRIN) optical components and off the shelf singlet lenses to relay an image from the distal tip to the
proximal end. The endoscope has a minimum diameter of 3.75 mm. The system length is 30 cm which is connected to a
handle that includes the holographic components and optics that relay the image to a camera. Preliminary evaluation of
the endoscope was performed with tissue phantoms and calibrated targets, which shows lateral resolution ≈ 4 μm at an
operating wavelength of 660 nm. The hologram is recorded in phenanthraquinone doped poly methacrylate and is
designed to produce images from two tissue depths. One image is obtained at the tissue surface and the second 70 μm
below the surface. This method requires no mechanical scanning and acquires an image at the camera frame rate. The
preliminary ex-vivo results show good correlation with histology sections of the same tissue sections.

We developed an ultrahigh speed endoscopic swept source optical coherence tomography (OCT) system for clinical
gastroenterology using a vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) and micromotor based imaging catheter, which
provided an imaging speed of 600 kHz axial scan rate and 8 μm axial resolution in tissue. The micromotor catheter was
3.2 mm in diameter and could be introduced through the 3.7 mm accessory port of an endoscope. Imaging was
performed at 400 frames per second with an 8 μm spot size using a pullback to generate volumetric data over 16 mm
with a pixel spacing of 5 μm in the longitudinal direction. Three-dimensional OCT (3D-OCT) imaging was performed in
patients with a cross section of pathologies undergoing standard upper and lower endoscopy at the Veterans Affairs
Boston Healthcare System (VABHS). Patients with Barrett’s esophagus, dysplasia, and inflammatory bowel disease
were imaged. The use of distally actuated imaging catheters allowed OCT imaging with more flexibility such as
volumetric imaging in the terminal ileum and the assessment of the hiatal hernia using retroflex imaging. The high
rotational stability of the micromotor enabled 3D volumetric imaging with micron scale volumetric accuracy for both en
face and cross-sectional imaging. The ability to perform 3D OCT imaging in the GI tract with microscopic accuracy
should enable a wide range of studies to investigate the ability of OCT to detect pathology as well as assess treatment
response.

Although there are more women than men dying of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in the United States and elsewhere, we still do not have a clear understanding of the differences in the pathophysiology of airflow obstruction between the sexes. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is an emerging imaging technology that has the capability of imaging small bronchioles with resolution approaching histology. Therefore, our objective was to compare OCT-derived airway wall measurements between males and females matched for lung size and in anatomically matched small airways. Subjects 50-80 yrs were enrolled in the British Columbia Lung Health Study and underwent OCT and spirometry. OCT was performed using a 1.5mm diameter probe/sheath in anatomically matched airways for males and females; the right lower lobe (RB8 or RB9) or left lower lobe (LB8 or LB9) during end-expiration. OCT airway wall area (Aaw) was obtained by manual segmentation. For males and females there was no significant difference in OCT Aaw (p=0.12). Spearman correlation coefficients indicated that the forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) and Aaw were significantly correlated for males (r=-0.78, p=0.004) but not for females (r=-0.20, p=0.49) matched for lung size. These novel OCT findings demonstrate that while there were no overall sex differences in airway wall thickness, the relationship between lung function and airway wall thickness was correlated only in men. Therefore, factors other than airway remodeling may be driving COPD pathogenesis in women and OCT may provide important information for investigating airway remodeling and its relationship with COPD progression.

Lower respiratory infections are among the leading causes of death worldwide. In this study, it was evaluated the
interaction of indocyanine green, a photosensitizer activated by infrared light, with alveolar macrophages and the
effectiveness of the photodynamic therapy using this compound against Streptococcus pneumoniae . Initial experiments
analyzed indocyanine green toxicity to alveolar macrophages in the dark with different drug concentrations and
incubation times, and macrophage viability was obtained with the MTT method. The average of the results showed
viability values below 90% for the two highest concentrations. Experiments with Streptococcus pneumoniae showed
photodynamic inactivation with 10 μM indocyanine green solution. Further experiments with the bacteria in co-culture
with AM will be conducted verifying the photodynamic inactivation effectiveness of the tested drug concentrations and
incubation periods using infrared light.

Infectious pneumonia is a major cause of morbidity and mortality, despite advances in diagnostics and therapeutics in
pulmonary infections. One of the major difficulties associated with the infection comes from the high rate of antibiotic
resistant microorganisms, claiming for the use of alternative techniques with high efficiency and low cost. The
photodynamic inactivation (PDI) is emerging as one of the great possibilities in this area, once its action is oxidative, not
allowing microorganism develops resistance against the treatment. PDI for decontamination pulmonary has potential for
treatment or creating better conditions for the action of antibiotics. In this study, we are developing a device to
implement PDI for the treatment of lung diseases with extracorporeal illumination. To validate our theory, we performed
measurements in liquid phantom to simulate light penetration in biological tissues at various fluency rates, the
temperature was monitored in a body of hairless mice and the measurements of light transmittance in this same animal
model. A diode laser emitting at 810 nm in continuous mode was used. Our results show 70% of leakage at 0.5 mm of
thickness in phantom model. The mouse body temperature variation was 5.4 °C and was observed light transmittance
through its chest. These results are suggesting the possible application of the extracorporeal illumination using infrared
light source. Based on these findings, further studies about photodynamic inactivation will be performed in animal model
using indocyanine green and bacteriochlorin as photosensitizers. The pulmonary infection will be induced with
Streptococcus pneumoniae and Klebsiella pneumoniae.

The objective was to develop an automated optical coherence tomography (OCT) segmentation method. We evaluated three ex-vivo porcine airway specimens; six non-sequential OCT images were selected from each airway specimen. Histology was also performed for each airway and histology images were co-registered to OCT images for comparison. Manual segmentation of the airway luminal area, mucosa area, submucosa area and the outer airway wall area were performed for histology and OCT images. Automated segmentation of OCT images employed a despecking filter for pre-processing, a hessian-based filter for lumen and outer airway wall area segmentation, and K-means clustering for mucosa and submucosa area segmentation. Bland-Altman analysis indicated that there was very little bias between automated OCT segmentation and histology measurements for the airway lumen area (bias=-6%, 95% CI=-21%-8%), mucosa area, (bias=-4%, 95% CI=-14%-5%), submucosa area (bias=7%, 95% CI=-7%-20%) and outer airway wall area segmentation results (bias=-5%, 95% CI=-14%-5%). We also compared automated and manual OCT segmentation and Bland-Altman analysis indicated that there was negligible bias between luminal area (bias=4%, 95% CI=1%-8%), mucosa area (bias=-3%, 95% CI=-6%-1%), submucosa area (bias=-2%, 95% CI=-10%-6%) and the outer airway wall (bias=-3%, 95% CI=-13%-6%). The automated segmentation method for OCT airway imaging developed here allows for accurate and precise segmentation of the airway wall components, suggesting that translation of this method to in vivo human airway analysis would allow for longitudinal and serial studies.

In this Hot Topics presentation,Eric Seibel discusses his team's work using a scanning-fiber endoscope (SFE) to provide high-contrast imaging. The instrument consists of red-green-blue illumination sources coupled into a single-mode fiber optic that can be scanned in 2D using a piezoelectric tube as an actuator. The output end of the device consists of a quartz cantilever, an asphere lens, and fluorescence detectors coupling high-resolution spectral imaging with a long depth of focus.
Compared to current state-of-the-art instruments such as a tethered capsule endoscope with outer diameters on the order of 6mm, the SFE has an outer diameter of only 1.2mm making it suitable for procedures in small ducts and the cardiovascular system. Seibel discusses using the instrument for improving biopsy procedures and diagnostics as well as in stent deployment.
