Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a fatal form of interstitial lung disease (ILD), characterized by abnormal collagen deposition. Computed tomography imaging lacks the resolution to accurately distinguish and quantify fibrosis distribution at the microscopic level, and surgical biopsy methods are invasive. We demonstrate the feasibility of polarization sensitive endobronchial optical coherence tomography (PS EB-OCT) for quantitative in vivo microscopic assessment of fibrotic ILDs. PS EB-OCT was able to accurately distinguish fibrosis distribution patterns in IPF and non-IPF ILDs, independently compared against surgical biopsy. These findings support the potential of PS EB-OCT as a minimally-invasive method for assessment of ILD.
