Real-time detection of these cells in the circulatory system and identification of their aggregation state is a crucial piece of information, but necessitates deep penetration and fast imaging with high selectivity, subcellular resolution, and high throughput. In this study, multiphoton-based in-flow detection of human stem cells in whole, unfiltered blood is demonstrated in a microfluidic channel. The approach relies on a multiphoton microscope with diffractive scanning in the direction perpendicular to the flow via a rapidly wavelength-swept laser. Stem cells are labeled with metal oxide harmonic nanoparticles. Thanks to their strong and quasi-instantaneous second harmonic generation (SHG), an imaging rate in excess of 10 000 frames per second is achieved with pixel dwell times of 1 ns, a duration shorter than typical fluorescence lifetimes yet compatible with SHG. Through automated cell identification and segmentation, morphological features of each individual detected event are extracted and cell aggregates are distinguished from isolated cells. This combination of high-speed multiphoton microscopy and high-sensitivity SHG nanoparticle labeling in turbid media promises the detection of rare cells in the bloodstream for assessing novel cell-based therapies.} } |

By combining multiple fields of view (FOV), LARA-OCT can probe a much larger area than conventional OCT. Also, nonplanar and curved surfaces like skin on arms and legs can be probed. The lenses in the LARA-OCT scanner with their normal FOV can have fewer aberrations and less complex optics compared to a single wide field design. This may be especially critical for high resolution scans. We directly use our fast MHz-OCT for tracking and stitching, making additional machine vision systems like cameras, positioning, tracking or navigation devices obsolete. This also eliminates the need for complex coordinate system registration between OCT and the machine vision system. We implemented a real time probe-to-surface control that maintains the probe alignment orthogonal to the sample by only using surface information from the OCT images. We present OCT data sets with volume sizes of 140\&\#x2009;\&\#x00D7;\&\#x2009;170\&\#x2009;\&\#x00D7;\&\#x2009;20 mm3, captured in 2.5 minutes.}, } |

Bowel wall thickness (BWT) was measured by EUS in the rectum. Vascularity was quantified by dCEUS using Rise Time (RT) and Time To Peak (TTP). Therapy response was defined after 14 weeks using the Mayo Score.Patients with aUC displayed a mean BWT of 3.9±0.9 mm. In case of response to ADA/IFX a significant reduction in BWT was observed after 2 weeks (p=0.04), whereas non-responders displayed no significant changes. The TTP was notably accelerated at baseline and significantly normalised by week 2 in responders (p=0.001), while non-responders exhibited no significant alterations (p=0.9). At week 2, the endoscopic Mayo score did not exhibit any changes, thus failing to predict treatment responses.dCEUS enables the early detection of therapy response in patients with aUC, which serves as a predictive marker for long term clinical success. Therefore, dCEUS serves as a diagnostic tool for assessing the probability of future therapy success.}", issn = {1873-9946}, doi = {10.1093/ecco-jcc/jjae034}, url = {https://doi.org/10.1093/ecco-jcc/jjae034}, eprint = {https://academic.oup.com/ecco-jcc/advance-article-pdf/doi/10.1093/ecco-jcc/jjae034/56911128/jjae034.pdf}, } |

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.}, } |

The 1300 nm and 900 nm regions are of especially high interest for time-encoded (TICO) stimulated Raman scattering microscopy and spectro-temporal laser imaging by diffracted excitation (SLIDE) two-photon microscopy. We present a new, to the best of our knowledge, FWM setup where we shift the power of a home-built fully fiber-based master oscillator power amplifier (MOPA) at 1064 nm to the 1300-nm region of a rapidly wavelength-sweeping Fourier domain mode-locked (FDML) laser in a photonic crystal fiber (PCF) creating pulses in the 900-nm region. The resulting 900-nm light can be wavelength swept over 54 nm and has up to 2.5 kW (0.2 {\textmu}J) peak power and a narrow instantaneous spectral linewidth of 70 pm. The arbitrary pulse patterns of the MOPA and the fast wavelength tuning of the FDML laser (419 kHz) allow it to rapidly tune the FWM light enabling new and faster TICO-Raman microscopy, SLIDE imaging, and other applications.}, } |

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).}, keywords = {Optical Coherence Tomography, Endoscopy, FDML , Closed Loop Motor Control, NURD compensation, Brushless DC Motor, Back Electromotive Force}, year = {2023}, doi = {10.1117/12.2652955}, URL = {https://doi.org/10.1117/12.2652955} } |

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.}, keywords = { Optical Coherence Tomography, Optical Coherence Elastography, Phase-sensitive OCT, Fourier Domain Mode Locking, Brain Tumor, Phase Unwrapping, Tissue Characterization, Biomechanics}, year = {2023}, doi = {10.1117/12.2648301}, URL = {https://doi.org/10.1117/12.2648301} } |

Other solutions to address challenges such as high loss and high polarization mode dispersion will be discussed along with performance. A main application of this laser will be retinal imaging, but it might also be applicable for TiCo-Raman and SLIDE microscopy. }, keywords = {Swept source, FDML, Laser, Ophthalmic imaging, OCT, 800 nm, retinal imaging, light sources}, year = {2023}, doi = {10.1117/12.2649646}, URL = {https://doi.org/10.1117/12.2649646} } |

The laser is based on a quantum dot-semiconductor optical amplifier with small linewidth enhancement factor. The laser could be used as a probe laser in stimulated Raman scattering microscopy and it may be attractive for optical coherence tomography due to low water absorption and the spectral signature of lipids around 1200nm. Moreover, it is ideal to close the gap between FDML lasers at 1064 nm and 1300 nm. Combining these three lasers can enable ultrawideband sweeping to improve the axial OCT resolution down to 2 μm. }, keywords = {FDML, Swept source, laser, SS-OCT, OCT, Tunable lasers}, year = {2023}, doi = {10.1117/12.2652884}, URL = {https://doi.org/10.1117/12.2652884} } |

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. }, keywords = {optical coherence tomography, oct, brain, classification, tumor, dual wavelength, glioblastoma multiforme, tissue analysis}, year = {2023}, doi = {10.1117/12.2649963}, URL = {https://doi.org/10.1117/12.2649963} } |
