Label-free functional and structural imaging of liver microvascular complex in mice by Jones matrix optical coherence tomography.

ABSTRACT: We demonstrate label-free imaging of the functional and structural properties of microvascular complex in mice liver. The imaging was performed by a custom-built Jones-matrix based polarization sensitive optical coherence tomography (JM-OCT), which is capable of measuring tissue's attenuation coefficient, birefringence, and tiny tissue dynamics. Two longitudinal studies comprising a healthy liver and an early fibrotic liver model were performed. In the healthy liver, we observed distinctive high dynamics beneath the vessel at the initial time point (0 h) and reappearance of high dynamics at 32-h time point. In the early fibrotic liver model, we observed high dynamics signal that reveals a clear network vascular structure by volume rendering. Longitudinal time-course imaging showed that these high dynamics signals faded and decreased over time.

Project description:IntroductionTo improve the quality of brain tumor resections, it is important to differentiate zones with myelinated fibers destruction from tumor tissue and normal white matter. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a promising tool for brain tissue visualization and in the present study, we demonstrate the ability of cross-polarization (CP) OCT to detect damaged white matter and differentiate it from normal and tumor tissues.Materials and methodsThe study was performed on 215 samples of brain tissue obtained from 57 patients with brain tumors. The analysis of the obtained OCT data included three stages: 1) visual analysis of structural OCT images; 2) quantitative assessment based on attenuation coefficients estimation in co- and cross-polarizations; 3) building of color-coded maps with subsequent visual analysis. The defining characteristics of structural CP OCT images and color-coded maps were determined for each studied tissue type, and then two classification tests were passed by 8 blinded respondents after a training.ResultsVisual assessment of structural CP OCT images allows detecting white matter areas with damaged myelinated fibers and differentiate them from normal white matter and tumor tissue. Attenuation coefficients also allow distinguishing all studied brain tissue types, while it was found that damage to myelinated fibers leads to a statistically significant decrease in the values of attenuation coefficients compared to normal white matter. Nevertheless, the use of color-coded optical maps looks more promising as it combines the objectivity of optical coefficient and clarity of the visual assessment, which leads to the increase of the diagnostic accuracy of the method compared to visual analysis of structural OCT images.ConclusionsAlteration of myelinated fibers causes changes in the scattering properties of the white matter, which gets reflected in the nature of the received CP OCT signal. Visual assessment of structural CP OCT images and color-coded maps allows differentiating studied tissue types from each other, while usage of color-coded maps demonstrates higher diagnostic accuracy values in comparison with structural images (F-score = 0.85-0.86 and 0.81, respectively). Thus, the results of the study confirm the potential of using OCT as a neuronavigation tool during resections of brain tumors.
