Integrated Systems and Technologies Molecular Histopathology by Spectrally Reconstructed Nonlinear Interferometric Vibrational Imaging
نویسندگان
چکیده
Sensitive assays for rapid quantitative analysis of histologic sections, resected tissue specimens, or in situ tissue are highly desired for early disease diagnosis. Stained histopathology is the gold standard but remains a subjective practice on processed tissue taking from hours to days. We describe a microscopy technique that obtains a sensitive and accurate color-coded image from intrinsic molecular markers. Spectrally reconstructed nonlinear interferometric vibrational imaging can differentiate cancer versus normal tissue sections with greater than 99% confidence interval in a preclinical rat breast cancer model and define cancer boundaries to 100 mm with greater than 99% confidence interval, using fresh unstained tissue sections imaged in less than 5 minutes. By optimizing optical sources and beam delivery, this technique can potentially enable real-time point-of-care optical molecular imaging and diagnosis. Cancer Res; 70(23); 1–8. 2010 AACR.

متن کاملCreation the fully integrated and flourishing assessment challenge award: Integration is the key
Medicine is now undertaking a paramount revolution that will alter the nature of healthcare from reactive to proactive. It is imperative to integrate experimental and computational investigation in order to appreciate complex biological systems in the era of precision medicine. In light of this revolution, we necessitate to precision medicine means such as systems approaches (genomics, radiogen...
متن کاملNonlinear interferometric vibrational imaging.
Coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) processes are "coherent," but the phase of the anti-Stokes radiation is lost by most incoherent spectroscopic CARS measurements. We propose a Raman microscopy imaging method called nonlinear interferometric vibrational imaging, which measures Raman spectra by obtaining the temporal anti-Stokes signal through nonlinear interferometry. With a more comp...
متن کاملHeterodyne coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) imaging.
We have achieved rapid nonlinear vibrational imaging free of nonresonant background with heterodyne coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) interferometric microscopy. This technique completely separates the real and imaginary responses of nonlinear susceptibility chi(3) and yields a signal that is linear in the concentration of vibrational modes. We show that heterodyne CARS microscopy pe...
متن کاملNonlinear interferometric vibrational imaging for fast label-free visualization of molecular domains in skin.
The most prevalent molecular constituents of skin are spatially mapped by the use of nonlinear interferometric vibrational imaging, a coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS)-based technique. Raman-like profiles over the range from 2,800 to 3,000 cm(-1) are acquired by means of completely suppressing the non-resonant background, allowing the generation of images based on the molecule-specif...
