Laser thermal injury and subsequent wound healing in organotypic, skin-equivalent tissue models were monitored using optical coherence tomography (OCT), multiphoton microscopy (MPM), and histopathology. The in vitro skin-equivalent raft tissue model was composed of dermis with type I Collagen and fibroblast cells and epidermis of differentiated keratinocytes. Noninvasive optical imaging techniques were used for time-dependent, serial measurements of matrix destruction and reconstruction and compared with histopathology. The region of laser thermal injury was clearly delineated in OCT images by low signal intensity. High resolution MPM imaging using second-harmonic generation revealed alterations in collagen microstructure organization with subsequent matrix reconstruction. Fibroblast cell migration in response to injury was monitored by MPM using two-photon excited fluorescence. This study illustrates the complementary features of linear and nonlinear light-tissue interaction in intrinsic signal optical imaging and their use for noninvasive, serial monitoring of wound healing processes in biological tissues.
