SignificanceExtracting optical properties of tissue [e.g., the attenuation coefficient (μ) and the backscattering fraction] from the optical coherence tomography (OCT) images is a valuable tool for parametric imaging and related diagnostic applications. Previous attenuation estimation models depend on the assumption of the uniformity of the backscattering fraction (R) within layers or whole samples, which does not accurately represent real-world conditions.AimOur aim is to develop a robust and accurate model that calculates depth-wise values of attenuation and backscattering fractions simultaneously from OCT signals. Furthermore, we aim to develop an attenuation compensation model for OCT images that utilizes the optical properties we obtained to improve the visual representation of tissues.ApproachUsing the stationary iteration method under suitable constraint conditions, we derived the approximated solutions of μ and R on a single scattering model. During the iteration, the estimated value of μ can be rectified by introducing the large variations of R, whereas the small ones were automatically ignored. Based on the calculation of the structure information, the OCT intensity with attenuation compensation was deduced and compared with the original OCT profiles.ResultsThe preliminary validation was performed in the OCT A-line simulation and Monte Carlo modeling, and the subsequent experiment was conducted on multi-layer silicone-dye-TiO2 phantoms and ex vivo cow eyes. Our method achieved robust and precise estimation of μ and R for both simulated and experimental data. Moreover, corresponding OCT images with attenuation compensation provided an improved resolution over the entire imaging range.ConclusionsOur proposed method was able to correct the estimation bias induced by the variations of R and provided accurate depth-resolved measurements of both μ and R simultaneously. The method does not require prior knowledge of the morphological information of tissue and represents more real-life tissues. Thus, it has the potential to help OCT imaging based disease diagnosis of complex and multi-layer biological tissue.

PurposeIntraoperative evaluation of bowel perfusion is currently dependent upon subjective assessment. Thus, quantitative and objective methods of bowel viability in intestinal anastomosis are scarce. To address this clinical need, a conditional adversarial network is used to analyze the data from laser speckle contrast imaging (LSCI) paired with a visible-light camera to identify abnormal tissue perfusion regions.ApproachOur vision platform was based on a dual-modality bench-top imaging system with red-green-blue (RGB) and dye-free LSCI channels. Swine model studies were conducted to collect data on bowel mesenteric vascular structures with normal/abnormal microvascular perfusion to construct the control or experimental group. Subsequently, a deep-learning model based on a conditional generative adversarial network (cGAN) was utilized to perform dual-modality image alignment and learn the distribution of normal datasets for training. Thereafter, abnormal datasets were fed into the predictive model for testing. Ischemic bowel regions could be detected by monitoring the erroneous reconstruction from the latent space. The main advantage is that it is unsupervised and does not require subjective manual annotations. Compared with the conventional qualitative LSCI technique, it provides well-defined segmentation results for different levels of ischemia.ResultsWe demonstrated that our model could accurately segment the ischemic intestine images, with a Dice coefficient and accuracy of 90.77% and 93.06%, respectively, in 2560 RGB/LSCI image pairs. The ground truth was labeled by multiple and independent estimations, combining the surgeons’ annotations with fastest gradient descent in suspicious areas of vascular images. The total processing time was 0.05 s for an image size of 256 × 256.ConclusionsThe proposed cGAN can provide pixel-wise and dye-free quantitative analysis of intestinal perfusion, which is an ideal supplement to the traditional LSCI technique. It has potential to help surgeons increase the accuracy of intraoperative diagnosis and improve clinical outcomes of mesenteric ischemia and other gastrointestinal surgeries.

CNN-based CP-OCT sensor integrated with a subretinal injector for retinal boundary tracking and injection guidance

Significance: Subretinal injection is an effective way of delivering transplant genes and cells to treat many degenerative retinal diseases. However, the technique requires high-dexterity and microscale precision of experienced surgeons, who have to overcome the physiological hand tremor and limited visualization of the subretinal space. Aim: To automatically guide the axial motion of microsurgical tools (i.e., a subretinal injector) with microscale precision in real time using a fiber-optic common-path swept-source optical coherence tomography distal sensor. Approach: We propose, implement, and study real-time retinal boundary tracking of A-scan optical coherence tomography (OCT) images using a convolutional neural network (CNN) for automatic depth targeting of a selected retinal boundary for accurate subretinal injection guidance. A simplified 1D U-net is used for the retinal layer segmentation on A-scan OCT images. A Kalman filter, combining retinal boundary position measurement by CNN and velocity measurement by cross correlation between consecutive A-scan images, is applied to optimally estimate the retinal boundary position. Unwanted axial motions of the surgical tools are compensated by a piezoelectric linear motor based on the retinal boundary tracking. Results: CNN-based segmentation on A-scan OCT images achieves the mean unsigned error (MUE) of ∼3 pixels (8.1 μm) using an ex vivo bovine retina model. GPU parallel computing allows real-time inference (∼2 ms) and thus real-time retinal boundary tracking. Involuntary tremors, which include low-frequency draft in hundreds of micrometers and physiological tremors in tens of micrometers, are compensated effectively. The standard deviations of photoreceptor (PR) and choroid (CH) boundary positions get as low as 10.8 μm when the depth targeting is activated. Conclusions: A CNN-based common-path OCT distal sensor successfully tracks retinal boundaries, especially the PR/CH boundary for subretinal injection, and automatically guides the tooltip’s axial position in real time. The microscale depth targeting accuracy of our system shows its promising possibility for clinical application.
