项目摘要

Our research target is proposal and demonstration of a novel high-resolution optical coherence tomography(Hi-OCT) for early-stage diagnosis of stomach cancer. Our proposed technique is used for in-focus imaging method over the entire cross-sectional area of interest. This tomography has the spatial resolution of 3μm with the imaging depth of more than 3mm.(1)A mode-locked Ti : sapphire laser (femto-second laser) is used as the light source of the Hi-OCT. The coherence length of femto-second laser of 3.1μm was obtained by compensation of unbalance of chromatic dispersion of the low-coherence interferometer.(2)In order to obtain in-focus imaging over the entire cross-sectional area of interest, we used the focusing effect of the focusing lens of the sample. This method is called in-focus OCT, in which multiple OCT is made by shifting the focal plane of the objective inside of tissue, followed by piling up of the OCT images. The imaging depth of more than 3mm was successfully obtained.(3)High-speed OCT imaging is required for a real-time OCT with minimization of motion artifact. We proposed the OCT imaging system with the PZM delay line scanning, where two identical PZMs are driven in push-pull operation. The delay-line scanning speed was 100 scans/sec, and an OCT image consists of 400 scans, providing us the image data acquisition time of 4 sec.(4)In the gastrointestinal application, the Hi-OCT imaging can provide very clear imaging of muscularis mucosae, which is a bending film-like tissue of a few tens micron thickness, showing that our method is useful for the early-stage diagnosis of stomach cancer.

我们的研究目标是提出并演示一种用于胃癌早期诊断的新型高分辨率光学相干断层扫描（Hi-OCT），我们提出的技术用于整个横截面区域的聚焦成像方法。感兴趣该断层扫描的空间分辨率为3μm，成像深度超过3mm。（1）采用锁模钛宝石激光器（飞秒激光器）作为光源Hi-OCT通过补偿低相干干涉仪的色散不平衡，得到了3.1μm的飞秒激光相干长度。(2)为了获得整个截面区域的聚焦成像。有趣的是，我们利用了样本聚焦透镜的聚焦效应，这种方法称为焦内OCT，通过在组织内部移动物镜的焦平面，然后进行叠加来进行多次OCT。成功获得了超过3mm的成像深度。(3)实时OCT成像需要运动伪影最小化，我们提出了带有PZM延迟线扫描的OCT成像系统。，其中两个相同的 PZM 以推挽操作驱动，延迟线扫描速度为 100 次扫描/秒，OCT 图像由 400 次扫描组成，为我们提供了 4 的图像数据采集时间。 (4)在胃肠道应用中，Hi-OCT成像可以提供非常清晰的粘膜肌层成像，粘膜肌层是一种厚度为几十微米的弯曲薄膜状组织，表明我们的方法对于早期阶段是有用的胃癌的诊断。
