Quantitative real-time optical imaging of the tissue metabolic rate of oxygen consumption.

ABSTRACT: The tissue metabolic rate of oxygen consumption (tMRO2) is a clinically relevant marker for a number of pathologies including cancer and arterial occlusive disease. We present and validate a noncontact method for quantitatively mapping tMRO2 over a wide, scalable field of view at 16??frames??/??s. We achieve this by developing a dual-wavelength, near-infrared coherent spatial frequency-domain imaging (cSFDI) system to calculate tissue optical properties (i.e., absorption, ?a, and reduced scattering, ?s', parameters) as well as the speckle flow index (SFI) at every pixel. Images of tissue oxy- and deoxyhemoglobin concentration (??[??HbO2??]?? and [HHb]) are calculated from optical properties and combined with SFI to calculate tMRO2. We validate the system using a series of yeast-hemoglobin tissue-simulating phantoms and conduct in vivo tests in humans using arterial occlusions that demonstrate sensitivity to tissue metabolic oxygen debt and its repayment. Finally, we image the impact of cyanide exposure and toxicity reversal in an in vivo rabbit model showing clear instances of mitochondrial uncoupling and significantly diminished tMRO2. We conclude that dual-wavelength cSFDI provides rapid, quantitative, wide-field mapping of tMRO2 that can reveal unique spatial and temporal dynamics relevant to tissue pathology and viability.

Project description:Diffusion exchange spectroscopy (DEXSY) provides a means to isolate the signal attenuation associated with exchange from other sources of signal loss. With the total diffusion weighting b1+b2=bs held constant, DEXSY signals acquired with b1=0 or b2=0 have no exchange weighting, while a DEXSY signal acquired with b1=b2 has maximal exchange weighting. The exchange rate can be estimated by fitting a diffusion exchange model to signals acquired with variable mixing times. Conventionally, acquired signals are normalized by a signal with b1=0 and b2=0 to remove the decay due to spin-lattice relaxation. Instead, division by a signal with equal bs but b1=0 or b2=0 reduces spin-lattice relaxation weighting of the apparent exchange rate (AXR). Furthermore, apparent diffusion-weighted R1 relaxation rates can be estimated from non-exchange-weighted DEXSY signals. Estimated R1 values are utilized to remove signal decay due to spin-lattice relaxation from exchange-weighted signals, permitting a more precise estimate of AXR with less data. Data reduction methods are proposed and tested with regards to statistical accuracy and precision of AXR estimates on simulated and experimental data. Simulations show that the methods are capable of accurately measuring the ground-truth exchange rate. The methods remain accurate even when the assumption that DEXSY signals attenuate with b is violated, as occurs for restricted diffusion. Experimental data was collected from fixed neonatal mouse spinal cord samples at 25 and 7°C using the strong static magnetic field gradient produced by a single-sided permanent magnet (i.e., an NMR MOUSE). The most rapid method for exchange measurements requires only five data points (an 80 s experiment as implemented) and achieves a similar level of accuracy and precision to the baseline method using 44 data points. This represents a significant improvement in acquisition speed, overcoming a barrier which has limited the use of DEXSY on living specimen.
