abstract = {Microscope integrated realtime 4D MHz-OCT operating at high scanning densities are capable of capturing additional visual contrast resolving depth and tissue. Even within a plain C-scan en-face projection structures are recognizable, that are not visible in a white light camera image. With advanced post processing methods, such as absorbtion coefficient mapping, and morphological classifiers more information is extraced. Presentation to the user in an intuitive way poses practical challenges that go beyond the implementation of a mere overlay display. We present our microscope integrated high speed 4D OCT imaging system, its clinical study use for in-vivo brain tissue imaging, and user feedback on the presentation methods we developed.},

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 = {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.},

The output of this laser is a train of optical wavelength sweeps, equivalent to extremely chirped pulses with an optical bandwidth of up to 25 THz and frequency tuning rates of >10 19 Hz/s. This laser type was developed for optical coherence tomography [2] , but found recently more and more applications like LiDAR [3] , Raman microscopy [4] or two-photon microscopy [5] . The laser’s coherence properties are relevant for a better understanding of the FDML laser itself and its applications. Because of the wide sweep range and high tuning rate, the laser linewidth cannot be measured with an RF spectrometer. Superposition with a narrowband continuous wave laser only yields phase information for small fractions of the sweep [6] . However, beat signal measurements between two independent FDML lasers with equal sweep range and direction can give information about the complete sweep.},

The identification was based on the optical properties, which were extracted by an exponential fit function. The results showed that a separation of tumorous tissue and healthy white matter based on these optical properties is possible. A support vector machine was trained on the optical properties to separate tumor from healthy white matter tissue, which achieved a sensitivity of 91% and a specificity of 76% on an independent training dataset.},

abstract = {Optical coherence tomography (OCT) has the potential to become an additional imaging modality for surgical guidance in the field of neurosurgery, especially when it comes to the detection of different infiltration grades of glioblastoma multiforme at the tumor border. Interpretation of the images, however, is still a big challenge. A method to create a labeled OCT dataset based on ex vivo brain samples is introduced. The tissue samples were embedded in an agarose mold giving them a distinctive shape before images were acquired with two OCT systems (spectral domain (SD) and swept source (SS) OCT) and histological sections were created and segmented by a neuropathologist. Based on the given shape, the corresponding OCT images for each histological image can be determined. The transfer of the labels from the histological images onto the OCT images was done with a non-affine image registration approach based on the tissue shape. It was demonstrated that finding OCT images of a tissue sample corresponding to segmented histological images without any color or laser marking is possible. It was also shown that the set labels can be transferred onto OCT images. The accuracy of method is 26 ± 11 pixel, which translates to 192 ± 75 μm for the SS-OCT and 94 ± 43 μm for the SD-OCT. The dataset consists of several hundred labeled OCT images, which can be used to train a classification algorithm.},

abstract = {In Fourier domain mode locked (FDML) lasers, extremely precise and stable matching of the filter tuning period and light circulation time in the cavity is essential for ultra-low noise operation. During the operation of FDML lasers, the ultra-low noise mode can be lost due to temperature drifts of the already temperature stabilized cavity resulting in increased intensity noise. Until now, the filter frequency is continuously regulated to match the changing light circulation time. However, this causes the filter frequency to constantly change by a few mHz and leads to synchronization issues in cases where a fixed filter frequency is desired. We present an actively cavity length controlled FDML laser and a robust and high precision feedback loop algorithm for maintaining ultra-low noise operation. Instead of adapting the filter frequency, the cavity length is adjusted by a motorized free space beam path to match the fixed filter frequency. The closed-loop system achieves a stability of ~0.18 mHz at a sweep repetition rate of ~418 kHz which corresponds to a ratio of 4×10<sup>-10</sup>. We investigate the coherence properties during the active cavity length adjustments and observe no noise increase compared to fixed cavity length. The cavity length control is fully functional and for the first time, offers the possibility to operate an FDML laser in sweet spot mode at a fixed frequency or phase locked to an external clock. This opens new possibilities for system integration of FDML lasers.},

abstract = {In order to realize adjustable A-scan rates of fast optical coherence tomography (OCT) systems, we investigate averaging of OCT image data acquired with a MHz-OCT system based on a Fourier Domain Mode Locked (FDML) laser. Increased system sensitivity and image quality can be achieved with the same system at the cost of lower imaging speed. Effectively, the A-scan rate can be reduced in software by a freely selectable factor. We demonstrate a detailed technical layout of the strategies necessary to achieve efficient coherent averaging. Since there are many new challenges specific to coherent averaging in swept source MHz-OCT, we analyze them point by point and describe the appropriate solutions. We prove that coherent averaging is possible at MHz OCT-speed without special interferometer designs or digital phase stabilization. We find, that in our system up to \&\#x223C;100x coherent averaging is possible while achieving a sensitivity increase close to the ideal values. This corresponds to a speed reduction from 3.3 MHz to 33 kHz and a sensitivity gain of 20 dB. We show an imaging comparison between coherent and magnitude averaging of a human finger knuckle joint in vivo with 121\&\#x00A0;dB sensitivity for the coherent case. Further, the benefits of computational downscaling in low sensitivity MHz-OCT systems are analyzed.},
