Three-dimensional endomicroscopy of the human colon using optical coherence tomography

Abstract: Three-dimensional (3D) endomicroscopy imaging of the human gastrointestinal tract is demonstrated in vivo using a swept source optical coherence tomography (OCT) system. 3D datasets of normal and pathologic regions of the colon, rectum, and anal verge were obtained from seven volunteers undergoing diagnostic or therapeutic colonoscopy. 3D-OCT enables high resolution endomicroscopy examination through visualization of tissue architectural morphology using virtual cross-sectional images with arbitrary orientatio… Show more

“…1). This technique has already been applied to other tissues, including retina, 9 airways, 10 cervix uteri, 11 and the gastrointestinal tract; 12 yet, to our knowledge, no study has explored the diagnostic value of 3-D OCT imaging in the evaluation of human cartilage.…”

“…In all of these studies, OCT analyses were performed based on two-dimensional OCT images. Three-dimensional reconstruction of the ulcerative colitis section was presented by Adler et al showing en face image that emphasized presence of large subsurface voids and ulcerations, and absence of regular crypt pattern [152]. Biliary/pancreatic tract: The main application for microscopic imaging of the bile duct is to identify the nature of bile duct strictures, which may be primary cancer (cholangiocarcinoma), metastatic cancer, primary sclerosing cholangitis, primary biliary cirrhosis, or other inflammation caused by the like of biliary stones.…”

“…During the early development of SD-OCT methods in ophthalmology, the en-face view was reinstated in the form of an approximate fundus image, useful in guiding the B-scanning investigation [15,16]. Continuous increase in speed of the SD-OCT methods has led to reduction of the time to produce a software cut en-face OCT image.…”
