abstract = {Circumferential scanning in endoscopic imaging is crucial across various disciplines, and optical coherence tomography (OCT) is often the preferred choice due to its high-speed, high-resolution, and micron-scale imaging capabilities. Moreover, real-time and high-speed 3D endoscopy is a pivotal technology for medical screening and precise surgical guidance, among other applications. However, challenges such as image jitter and non-uniform rotational distortion (NURD) are persistent obstacles that hinder real-time visualization during high-speed OCT procedures. To address this issue, we developed an innovative, low-cost endoscope that employs a brushless DC motor for scanning, and a sensorless technique for triggering and synchronizing OCT imaging with the scanning motor. This sensorless approach uses the motor\&\#x2019;s electrical feedback (back electromotive force, BEMF) as a virtual Hall sensor to initiate OCT image acquisition and synchronize it with a Fourier Domain Mode-Locked (FDML)-based Megahertz OCT system. Notably, the implementation of BEMF-triggered OCT has led to a substantial reduction in image jitter and NURD (\<4 mrad), thereby opening up a new window for real-time visualization capabilities. This approach suggests potential benefits across various applications, aiming to provide a more accurate, deployable, and cost-effective solution. Subsequent studies can explore the adaptability of this system to specific clinical scenarios and its performance under practical endoscopic conditions.},

An axial resolution of ∼9.9 µm in water and a 1.4 cm sensitivity roll-off are achieved. Utilizing a complex master-slave (CMS) recalibration method and due to a sufficiently high sensitivity of 84.6 dB, retinal layers of the human eye in-vivo can be resolved during optical coherence tomography (OCT) examination. The developed FDML laser enables acquisition rates of 3D-volumes with a size of 200 × 100 × 256 voxels in under 100 milliseconds.

abstract = {High-speed endoscopic optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging in the MHz range has shown great potential in various medical applications ranging from cancer screening to vascular disease monitoring. High-speed imaging always suffers from non-uniform rotational distortion (NURD) due to asynchronous motor rotation with the OCT system. Several research groups have previously attempted to solve this problem, using either an expensive motor with a sensor or numerical correction after data acquisition. However, both techniques pose challenges for practical use. Therefore, in this study, we use an inexpensive sensorless brushless DC motor with a Fourier domain mode-locked (FDML) laser-based MHz OCT system and try to resolve the problem of synchronization using three different modalities, (i) Slave-mode: The FDML frequency serves as a master frequency for the motor, which is phase-locked to the FDML frequency, (ii) Master-mode: The revolution trigger obtained from the motor’s back electromotive force (BEMF) signal serves as a trigger signal for the OCT imaging system, (iii) Both: Fully synchronized setup, where the motor rotation is synchronized with the laser and the imaging system is synchronized with the motor to achieve phase-stable OCT imaging. The first case slightly fluctuates in live preview and imaging due to the absence of a revolution trigger, while the second has varying motor speeds. Therefore, we use the third case to phase-lock the motor with FDML and get a distortion-free live preview and image acquisition. Finally, we demonstrate high-speed SS-OCT structural imaging (at 3.3 MHz A-scan rates) of a finger with a 16 mm diameter probe (at 40,000 rpm).},

abstract = {Optical coherence elastography (OCE) offers the possibility of obtaining the mechanical behavior of a tissue. When also  using a non-contact mechanical excitation, it mimics palpation without interobserver variability. One of the most frequently  used techniques is phase-sensitive OCE. Depending on the system, depth-resolved changes in the sub-µm to nm range can  be detected and visualized volumetrically. Such an approach is used in this work to investigate and detect transitions  between healthy and tumorous brain tissue as well as inhomogeneities in the tumor itself to assist the operating surgeon  during tumor resection in the future. We present time-resolved, phase-sensitive OCE measurements on various ex vivo brain tumor samples using an ultra-fast 3.2 MHz swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) system with a frame rate of 2.45 kHz. 4 mm line scans are acquired which, in combination with the high imaging speed, allow monitoring and investigation of the sample's behavior in response to the mechanical load. Therefore, an air-jet system applies a 200 ms  short air pulse to the sample, whose non-contact property facilitates the possibility for future in vivo measurements. Since we can temporally resolve the response of the sample over the entire acquisition time, the mechanical properties are evaluated at different time points with depth resolution. This is done by unwrapping the phase data and performing subsequent assessment. Systematic ex vivo brain tumor measurements were conducted and visualized as distribution maps.  The study outcomes are supported by histological analyses and examined in detail.},

abstract = {The ill-defined tumor borders of glioblastoma multiforme pose a major challenge for the surgeon during tumor resection,  since the goal of the tumor resection is the complete removal, while saving as much healthy brain tissue as possible. In  recent years, optical coherence tomography (OCT) was successfully used to classify white matter from tumor infiltrated  white matter by several research groups. Motivated by these results, a dataset was created, which consisted of sets of  corresponding ex vivo OCT images, which were acquired by two OCT-systems with different properties (e.g. wavelength  and resolution). Each image was annotated with semantic labels. The labels differentiate between white and gray matter  and three different stages of tumor infiltration. The data from both systems not only allowed a comparison of the ability of  a system to identify the different tissue types present during the tumor resection, but also enable a multimodal tissue  analysis evaluating corresponding OCT images of the two systems simultaneously. A convolutional neural network with  dirichlet prior was trained, which allowed to capture the uncertainty of a prediction. The approach increased the sensitivity  of identifying tumor infiltration from 58 % to 78 % for data with a low prediction uncertainty compared to a previous  monomodal approach. },

abstract = {In neurosurgical tumor operations on the central nervous system, intraoperative haptic information often assists for discrimination between healthy and diseased tissue. Thus, it can provide the neurosurgeon with additional intraoperative source of information during resection, next to the visual information by the light microscope, fluorescent dyes and neuronavigation. One approach to obtain elastic and viscoelastic tissue characteristics non-subjectively is phase-sensitive optical coherence elastography (OCE), which is based on the principle of optical coherence tomography (OCT). While phase-sensitive OCE offers significantly higher displacement sensitivity inside a sample than commonly used intensity-based correlation methods, it requires a reliable algorithm to recover the phase signal, which is mathematically restricted in the -π to π range. This problem of phase wrapping is especially critical for inter-frame phase analysis since the time intervals between two referenced voxels is long. Here, we demonstrate a one-dimensional unwrapping algorithm capable of removing up to 4π-ambiguities between two frames in the complex phase data obtained from a 3.2 MHz-OCT system. The high sampling rate allows us to resolve large sample displacements induced by a 200 ms air pulse and acquires pixel-precise detail information. The deformation behavior of the tissue can be monitored over the entire acquisition time, offering various subsequent mechanical analysis procedures. The reliability of the algorithm and imaging concept was initially evaluated using different brain tumor mimicking phantoms. Additionally, results from human ex vivo brain tumor samples are presented and correlated with histological findings supporting the robustness of the algorithm.},

abstract = {We present continuous three-dimensional spectral zooming in live 4D-OCT using a home-built FDML based OCT system with 3.28 MHz A-scan rate. Improved coherence characteristics of the FDML laser allow for imaging ranges up to 10 cm. For the axial spectral zoom feature, we switch between high resolution and long imaging range by adjusting the sweep range of our laser. We present a new imaging setup allowing for synchronized adjustments of the imaging range and lateral field of view during live OCT imaging. For this, a novel inline recalibration algorithm was implemented that enables numerical k-linearization of the raw OCT fringes for every frame instead of every volume. This is realized by acquiring recalibration data within the dead time of the raster scan at the turning points of the fast axis scanner. We demonstrate in vivo OCT images of fingers and hands at different resolution modes and show real three-dimensional zooming during live 4D-OCT. A three-dimensional spectral zooming feature for live 4D-OCT is expected to be a useful tool for a wide range of biomedical, scientific and research applications, especially in OCT guided surgery.},
