    Abstract Objective: Our objective in the present study is to detect oral mucosal lesions non-invasively by probing two solutions with reference to diagnostic technique and non-invasive media. In the diagnostic technique, Stokes shift (SS) spectroscopy (SSS) has been utilized for the detection of oral lesions. In the diagnostic media, human oral tissue and saliva are included.
    Methods: SS measurements are carried out on oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), dysplastic (precancer), and normal/control tissue and saliva samples. Measurements are performed on 86 tissue and 86 saliva samples using the commercially available spectrofluorometer. Offset wavelength of 120 nm, which is the Stoke shift of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) has been selected over the other offsets (i.e., 20, 40, 70 and 90 nm).
    Result: Presence of tryptophan, collagen, NADH, and flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) bands were noticed in the SS spectra of tissue. Like the tissue spectra, presence of these bands was also found in the SS spectra of saliva except the collagen band. Classification among the samples accomplished by the make use of multivariate analysis methods. In the multivariate analysis methods, principal component analysis (PCA) is applied first on SS data of tissue and saliva and then Mahalanobis distance (MD) model and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis employed successively. Overall accuracy values of 94.91 %, 84.61 %, and 85.24 % were obtained among OSCC to normal, dysplasia to normal, and OSCC to dysplasia for tissue samples and 88.46 %, 90.16 % and 94.91 % accuracy values were obtained for saliva using the SS spectroscopy.
    Conclusion: Obtained results of human saliva are equivalent to human oral tissue using the SS spectroscopy. It indicates that saliva may be utilized as a substitute diagnostic medium and SS spectroscopy as a diagnostic technique for non-invasive detection of oral lesions at the primarily stage.

    Abstract Detection of oral mucosal lesions has been performed by an in-house developed fluorescence-based portable device in the present study. A laser diode of 405 nm wavelength and a UV-visible spectrometer are utilized in the portable device as excitation and detection sources. At the 405 nm excitation wavelength, the flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) band at 500 nm and three porphyrin bands at 634, 676, and 703 nm are observed in the fluorescence spectrum of the oral cavity tissue. We have conducted this clinical study on a total of 189 tissue sites of 36 oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) patients, 18 dysplastic (precancerous) patients, and 34 volunteers. Analysis of the fluorescence data has been performed by using the principal component analysis (PCA) method and support vector machine (SVM) classifier. PCA is applied first in the spectral data to reduce the dimension, and then classification among the three groups has been executed by employing the SVM. The SVM classifier includes linear, radial basis function (RBF), polynomial, and sigmoid kernels, and their classification efficacies are computed. Linear and RBF kernels on the testing data sets differentiated OSCC and dysplasia to normal with an accuracy of 100% and OSCC to dysplasia with an accuracy of 95% and 97%, respectively. Polynomial and sigmoid kernels showed less accuracy values among the groups ranging from 48 to 88% and 51 to 100%, respectively. The result indicates that fluorescence spectroscopy and the SVM classifier can help to identify early oral mucosal lesions with significant high accuracy.

    Abstract Significance: Quantitative optical polarimetry has received considerable recent attention owing to its potential for being an efficient diagnosis and characterizing tool with potential applications in biomedical research and various other disciplines. In this regard, it is crucial to validate various Mueller matrix (MM) decomposition methods, which are utilized to extract and quantify the intrinsic individual polarization anisotropy properties of various complex optical media.
    Aim: To quantitatively compare the performance of both polar and differential MM decomposition methods for probing the structural and morphological changes in complex optical media through analyzing their intrinsic individual polarization parameters, which are extracted using the respective decomposition algorithms. We also intend to utilize the decomposition-derived anisotropy parameters to distinguish among the cervical tissues with different grades of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) and to characterize the healing efficiency of an organic crystal.
    Approach: Polarization MM of the cervical tissues with different grades of CIN and the different stages of the self-healing crystal are recorded with a home-built MM imaging setup in the transmission detection geometry with a spatial resolution of
    Results: Pronounced differences in the decomposed-derived polarization anisotropy parameters are observed for cervical tissue sections with different grades of CIN. While a significant increase in the depolarization parameter
    Conclusion: Our results demonstrate that the differential decomposition of MM holds certain advantages over the polar decomposition method to characterize and probe the structural changes in the cervical tissues with different grades of CIN. Although the quantified individual polarization parameters obtained through both the MM decomposition methods can be used as useful metrics to characterize various optical media, in case of complex turbid media such as biological tissues, incorporation of the differential decomposition technique may yield more efficient information. Also, the study highlights the utilization of MM polarimetry with an appropriate decomposition technique as an efficient diagnostic and characterizing tool in the realm of biomedical clinical research, and various other disciplines.

    Abstract Progression of oral mucosal lesions is generally marked by changes in the concentration of the intrinsic fluorophores such as collagen, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH), flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) and porphyrin present in the human oral tissue. In this study, we have probed the changes in FAD and porphyrin by exciting with 405 nm laser light on different sites (tongue, buccal mucosa, lip etc.) of the oral cavity. Testing has been done by an in-house developed fluorescence-based portable imaging device on oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) patients, dysplastic patients and control (normal) group. Fluorescence images recorded from OSCC and dysplastic patients have displayed an enhancement in the red band (porphyrin) as compared to those from the normal volunteers.

    Abstract Cervical cancer is a prevalent malignant tumor within the female reproductive system and is regarded as a prominent cause of female mortality on a global scale. Timely and precise detection of various phases of cervical cancer holds the potential to substantially enhance both the rate of successful treatment and the duration of patient survival. Fluorescence spectroscopy is a highly sensitive method for detecting the biochemical changes that arise during cancer progression. In our study, fluorescence spectral data is collected from a diverse group of 110 subjects. The potential of the scattering transform technique for the purpose of cancer detection is explored. The processed signal undergoes an initial decomposition into scattering coefficients using the wavelet scattering transform (WST). Subsequently, the scattering coefficients are subjected to computation for fuzzy entropy, dispersion entropy, phase entropy, and spectral entropy, for effectively characterizing the fluorescence spectral signals. These combined features generated through the proposed approach are then fed to 1D convolutional neural network (CNN) classifier to classify them into normal, pre-cancerous, and cancerous categories, thereby evaluating the effectiveness of the proposed methodology. We obtained mean classification accuracy of 97% using 5-fold cross-validation. This demonstrates the potential of combining WST and entropic features for analyzing fluorescence spectroscopy signals using 1D CNN classifier that enables early cancer detection in contrast to prevailing diagnostic methods.

    Abstract Analysis of spatial frequency of Mueller matrix (MM) images in the Fourier domain yields quantifying parameters of anisotropy in the stromal region in normal and precancerous tissue sections of human uterine cervix. The spatial frequencies of MM elements reveal reliable information of microscopic structural organization arising from the different orientations of collagen fibers in the connective tissue and their randomization with disease progression. Specifically, the local disorder generated in the normal periodic and regular structure of collagen during the growth of the cervical cancer finds characteristic manifestation in the Fourier spectrum of the selected Mueller matrix elements encoding the anisotropy effects through retardance and birefringence. In contrast, Fourier spectra of differential polarization gated images are limited to only one orientation of collagen. Fourier spectra of first row elements M11, M12, M13, and M14 and first column elements M11, M21, M31, and M41 discriminates cervical inter-epithelial neoplasia (CIN)-I from normal cervical tissue samples with 95%-100% sensitivity and specificity. FFT spectra of first and fourth row elements classify CIN-I and CIN-II grades of cervical cancerous tissues with 90%-100% sensitivity and 87%-100% specificity. Normal and CIN-II grade samples are successfully discriminated through Fourier spectra of every MM element while that of M31 element arises as the key classifier among normal, CIN-I, and CIN-II grades of cervical cancer with 100% sensitivity and specificity. These results demonstrate the promise of spatial frequency analysis of Mueller matrix images as a novel, to the best of our knowledge, approach for cancer/precancer detection.

    Abstract The spatial autocorrelation and correlation map of amplitude and phase anisotropy along with depolarization parameter from the stroma of uterine cervix utilizing their Mueller matrix (MM) images have been reported for early diagnosis of cervical cancer and differentiation of precancerous stages. The comparative results of the evaluation of the spatial autocorrelation over MM images of optically anisotropic collagen structures from normal and various grades of cervical precancer reflect significant alterations which are correlated with the pathological changes. The spatially varying polarizance from different region of anisotropic stromal region gets correlated within a given spatial lag during the precancerous changes. The diattenuation governing elements M12, M13 and M14 clearly discriminate normal and various grades of precancerous cervical tissue through their autocorrelation profile and correlation map. Evaluation of autocorrelation of spatially varying linear birefringence and linear-45 birefringence characterized by MM elements M34 and M43 and M24 and M42 are not found to differ between the precancer grades, indicating that these changes may be arising from highly directional collagen network while the changes displayed by MM elements M23 and M32 faithfully represent that the chirality of the stromal region is compromised as the cervical cancer evolves and only one type of nature dominates.

    Abstract The mapping of diattenuation, polarizance and retardance vector (normalized Stokes vector) on Poincare sphere, evaluated from Mueller matrix of optically anisotropic stromal region of cervical tissues, is presented for cervical precancer detection and its staging. This reveals that the changes in the polarization states shown by these normalized Stokes vectors corresponds to the degradation of linearly arranged collagen fibers, breakage of the collagen cross links in the stromal region and change in the density of scattering sites when cervical cancer evolves. The distinct nature of real and imaginary parts of the refractive index for linear, linear-45 and circular polarization from the optically anisotropic stromal region underscore the various polarization structures of the connective tissue region which get modified during the pathological changes. It has been found that versatility of these vectors for normal and precancerous cervical tissue of various grades may be utilized as a key distinction for qualitative staging of cervical precancer tissue. Quantitative classification of precancerous stages of cervical precancer has been determined with 95%-100% sensitivity and 93%-100% specificity through the evaluation of linear and circular diattenuation, linear polarizance and linear birefringence from the components of the respective vectors.

    Abstract Cervical cancer can be treated and cured if diagnosed at an early stage. Optical devices, developed on smartphone-based platforms, are being tested for this purpose as they are cost-effective, robust, and field portable, showing good efficiency compared to the existing commercial devices. This study reports on the applicability of a 3D printed smartphone-based spectroscopic device (3D-SSD) for the early diagnosis of cervical cancer. The proposed device has the ability to evaluate intrinsic fluorescence (IF) from the collected polarized fluorescence (PF) and elastic-scattering (ES) spectra from cervical tissue samples of different grades. IF spectra of 30 cervical tissue samples have been analyzed and classified using a combination of principal component analysis (PCA) and random forest (RF)-based multi-class classification algorithm with an overall accuracy above 90%. The usage of smartphone for image collection, spectral data analysis, and display makes this device a potential contender for use in clinics as a regular screening tool.

    Abstract Time-resolved Mueller matrix (MM) imaging polarimetry in transmission mode has been implemented in both epithelium and stromal regions of cervical tissues to explore the various polarization dynamics in connection with the diagnosis of cervical precancer. The picosecond-resolved intensity patterns of various MM elements, resulting from the various orders of scattering, at different time delays provide clear demarcation between the epithelium and stroma of cervical tissue. The time dependent depolarization and retardance maps are seen to differentiate the epithelium from stroma. The average values of time dependent linear, linear-45, and circular depolarization and linear, circular, and scalar retardance parameters in different regimes of scattering from the optically anisotropic stromal region identify the pre-malignancy in cervical tissue. As the disease evolves, time dependent linear depolarization varies to larger values as compared to time dependent circular depolarization. Interestingly, the chirality of the collagen network that rotates the plane of polarized light in either direction in normal samples is limited to only the clockwise direction during the progression of the disease. These results show potential in the early detection and understanding of the mechanisms of morphological changes in cervical cancer development.
