DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Design of a laboratory prototype, product development and clinical testing of a real-time hand-held confocal line-scanner is proposed for imaging-guided microsurgery applications. Line scanning offers resolution, contrast and field of view that are required for intrasurgical imaging. In the Phase I feasibility project, the laboratory prototype successfully demonstrated imaging of nuclear and cellular detail in human epidermis in vivo with 5-10 microns resolution. In Phase II, the goals are to quantitatively characterize optical performance within living human skin, package the prototype into a hand-held confocal scanner product, and test the scanner for imaging basal cell cancers on patients during Mohs surgery. Vis-a-vis the current method based on frozen pathology, real-time in situ confocal imaging may save both Mohs surgeon and patient several hours in the operating room. The hand-held line-scanning confocal microscope will have everything that surgeons and patients want: simple and robust design, inexpensive ($10K-20K), user-friendly package, controls and interface, and standard detection and display systems. The first application is for skin cancer but other tissues will be subsequently imaged as well. The intended users are surgeons, and the potential benefits to the patient are: painless, fast, less expensive and therefore significantly improved healthcare.

描述（由申请人提供）： 提出了用于成像引导显微外科应用的实时手持式共焦线扫描仪的实验室原型设计、产品开发和临床测试。线扫描提供外科成像所需的分辨率、对比度和视野。在一期可行性项目中，实验室原型成功演示了人表皮体内核和细胞细节的成像，分辨率为5-10微米。第二阶段的目标是定量表征活人皮肤的光学性能，将原型封装到手持式共焦扫描仪产品中，并测试扫描仪在莫氏手术期间对患者进行基底细胞癌成像。与当前基于冷冻病理学的方法相比，实时原位共聚焦成像可以为莫氏外科医生和患者节省手术室中的几个小时。手持式线扫描共焦显微镜将具备外科医生和患者想要的一切：简单而坚固的设计、价格便宜（10K-20K 美元）、用户友好的包装、控制和界面以及标准检测和显示系统。第一个应用是针对皮肤癌，但随后也会对其他组织进行成像。目标用户是外科医生，对患者的潜在好处是：无痛、快速、便宜，从而显着改善医疗保健。
