    Abstract Endoscopic optical coherence tomography of large airways poses unique challenges. A hybrid lens is described that consists of a section of coreless fiber and graded index fiber (GIF), followed by a ball lens section. This design produces low numerical aperture beams better suited for large airway imaging. The performance of this lens is compared against conventional GIF and ball lens designs. Forward- and side-viewing probes were modeled, fabricated, and tested. The impact of a sheath on the beam profile was also investigated. Probes with working distances larger than 10 mm and depth-of-focus exceeding 12 mm are demonstrated with the proposed design.

    Abstract Magnetomotive Ultrasound (MMUS) is an emerging imaging modality, in which magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) are used as contrast agents. MNPs are driven by a time-varying magnetic force, and the resulting movement of the surrounding tissue is detected with a signal processing algorithm. However, there is currently no analytical model to quantitatively predict this magnetically-induced displacement. Toward the goal of predicting motion due to forces on the distribution of MNPs, in this work, a model originally derived from the Navier-Stokes equation for the motion of a single magnetic particle subject to a magnetic gradient force is presented and validated. Displacement amplitudes for a spatially inhomogeneous and temporally sinusoidal force were measured as a function of force amplitude and Young's modulus, and the predicted linear and inverse relationships were confirmed in gelatin phantoms, respectively, with three out of four data sets exhibiting R

    Abstract Plasmonic nanoparticles that can be manipulated with magnetic fields are of interest for advanced optical applications, diagnostics, imaging, and therapy. Alignment of gold nanorods yields strong polarization-dependent extinction, and use of magnetic fields is appealing because they act through space and can be quickly switched.

    Abstract In situ measurements of diffusive particle transport provide insight into tissue architecture, drug delivery, and cellular function. Analogous to diffusion-tensor magnetic resonance imaging (DT-MRI), where the anisotropic diffusion of water molecules is mapped on the millimeter scale to elucidate the fibrous structure of tissue, here we propose diffusion-tensor optical coherence tomography (DT-OCT) for measuring directional diffusivity and flow of optically scattering particles within tissue. Because DT-OCT is sensitive to the sub-resolution motion of Brownian particles as they are constrained by tissue macromolecules, it has the potential to quantify nanoporous anisotropic tissue structure at micrometer resolution as relevant to extracellular matrices, neurons, and capillaries. Here we derive the principles of DT-OCT, relating the detected optical signal from a minimum of six probe beams with the six unique diffusion tensor and three flow vector components. The optimal geometry of the probe beams is determined given a finite numerical aperture, and a high-speed hardware implementation is proposed. Finally, Monte Carlo simulations are employed to assess the ability of the proposed DT-OCT system to quantify anisotropic diffusion of nanoparticles in a collagen matrix, an extracellular constituent that is known to become highly aligned during tumor development.

    Abstract Magnetomotive ultrasound (MMUS) contrasts superparamagnetic iron-oxide nanoparticles (SPIOs) that undergo submicrometer-scale displacements in response to a magnetic gradient force applied to an imaging sample. Typically, MMUS signals are defined in a way that is proportional to the medium displacement, rendering an indirect measure of the density distribution of SPIOs embedded within. Displacement-based MMUS, however, suffers from 'halo effects' that extend into regions without SPIOs due to their inherent mechanical coupling with the medium. To reduce such effects and to provide a more accurate representation of the SPIO density distribution, we propose a model-based inversion of MMUS displacement fields by reconstructing the body force distribution. Displacement fields are modelled using the static Navier-Cauchy equation for linear, homogeneous, and isotropic media, and the body force fields are, in turn, reconstructed by minimizing a regularized least-squares error functional between the modelled and the measured displacement fields. This reconstruction, when performed on displacement fields of two tissue-mimicking phantoms with cuboidal SPIO-laden inclusions, improved the range of errors in measured heights and widths of the inclusions from 54%-282% pre-inversion to-15%-20%. Likewise, the post-inversion contrast to noise ratios (CNRs) of the images were significantly larger than displacement-derived CNRs alone (p   =  0.0078, Wilcoxon signed rank test). Qualitatively, it was found that inversion ameliorates halo effects and increases overall detectability of the inclusion. These findings highlight the utility of model-based inversion as a tool for both signal processing and accurate characterization of the number density distribution of SPIOs in magnetomotive imaging.

    Abstract Background: An understanding of how the mammary gland responds to toxicant and drug exposures can shed light on mechanisms of breast cancer initiation/progression and therapeutic effectiveness, respectively. In this study, we employed noninvasive, label-free and high-throughput optical coherence tomography speckle fluctuation spectroscopy (OCT-SFS) to track exposure-response relationships in three-dimensional (3D) mammary epithelial organoid models.
    Methods: OCT-SFS is sensitive to relatively high speed (~0.16-8 µm/min) motions of subcellular light scattering components occurring over short (~2-114 s) time scales, termed "intracellular motility." In this study, OCT speckle fluctuation spectra are quantified by two metrics: the intracellular motility amplitude,
    Results: In this work, we observed a significant decrease in both
    Conclusions: OCT-SFS revealed cell line-specific response patterns, in terms of intracellular motility, to different motility suppression mechanisms. This provides a foundation for future OCT-SFS studies of longitudinal responses of the mammary gland in toxicology and drug research.

    Abstract Basal-like breast cancers (BBC) exhibit subtype-specific phenotypic and transcriptional responses to stroma, but little research has addressed how stromal-epithelial interactions evolve during early BBC carcinogenesis. It is also unclear how common genetic defects, such as p53 mutations, modify these stromal-epithelial interactions. To address these knowledge gaps, we leveraged the MCF10 progression series of breast cell lines (MCF10A, MCF10AT1, and MCF10DCIS) to develop a longitudinal, tissue-contextualized model of p53-deficient, pre-malignant breast. Acinus asphericity, a morphogenetic correlate of cell invasive potential, was quantified with optical coherence tomography imaging, and gene expression microarrays were performed to identify transcriptional changes associated with p53 depletion and stromal context. Co-culture with stromal fibroblasts significantly increased the asphericity of acini derived from all three p53-deficient, but not p53-sufficient, cell lines, and was associated with the upregulation of 38 genes. When considered as a multigene score, these genes were upregulated in co-culture models of invasive BBC with increasing stromal content, as well as in basal-like relative to luminal breast cancers in two large human datasets. Taken together, stromal-epithelial interactions during early BBC carcinogenesis are dependent upon epithelial p53 status, and may play important roles in the acquisition of an invasive morphologic phenotype.

    Abstract Quantitative methods for assessing the severity of inhalation (burn) injury are needed to aid in treatment decisions. We hypothesize that it is possible to assess the severity of injuries on the basis of differences in the compliance of the airway wall. Here, we demonstrate the use of a custom-built, endoscopic, anatomic optical coherence elastography (aOCE) system to measure airway wall compliance. The method was first validated using airway phantoms, then performed on ex vivo porcine tracheas under varying degrees of inhalation (steam) injury. A negative correlation between aOCE-derived compliance and severity of steam injuries is found, and spatially-resolved compliance maps reveal regional heterogeneity in airway properties.
