分子成像在医学中发挥着关键作用,因为它能够在分子和细胞水平上提供对疾病机制的宝贵见解。为此,已经开发了多种分子成像技术,每种技术都有其自身的优点和缺点。例如,荧光成像可实现微米级分辨率,但穿透深度较低,并且大多仅限于外源性试剂。在这里,我们使用一种新型的光谱光学相干断层扫描技术展示了内源性和外源性发色团的分子成像。我们的方法包括使用以可见光谱为中心的宽光谱带宽激光源,从而可以轻松评估血红蛋白氧水平,提供易于使用的吸收剂的对比度,并实现样品的真实色彩表示。这种方法在三维微米级成像时提供了高光谱保真度。分子成像真彩色光谱光学相干断层扫描 (METRiCS OCT) 对许多生物医学应用具有重要意义,包括眼科、早期癌症检测以及了解缺氧和血管生成等基本疾病机制。
Molecular imaging holds a pivotal role in medicine due to its ability to provide invaluable insight into disease mechanisms at molecular and cellular levels. To this end, various techniques have been developed for molecular imaging, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. For example, fluorescence imaging achieves micrometre-scale resolution, but has low penetration depths and is mostly limited to exogenous agents. Here, we demonstrate molecular imaging of endogenous and exogenous chromophores using a novel form of spectroscopic optical coherence tomography. Our approach consists of using a wide spectral bandwidth laser source centred in the visible spectrum, thereby allowing facile assessment of haemoglobin oxygen levels, providing contrast from readily available absorbers, and enabling true-colour representation of samples. This approach provides high spectral fidelity while imaging at the micrometre scale in three dimensions. Molecular imaging true-colour spectroscopic optical coherence tomography (METRiCS OCT) has significant implications for many biomedical applications including ophthalmology, early cancer detection, and understanding fundamental disease mechanisms such as hypoxia and angiogenesis.
