项目摘要

The detection of cancer in the lung, gastrointestinal tract and other body cavities often require very small catheters to navigate the small pathways involved. The applicants develop tools and devices that employ optical fibers for the early detection of cancer. These tools allow physicians to visualize tissue and tissue components in distant regions of the body such as the very periphery of the lung where cancer is most often found. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a new imaging technique that can be used to study these high-risk tissue sites at high resolution without removing tissue (no biopsy required). OCT is the optical equivalent of ultrasound - it uses light waves instead of sound waves to build a high-resolution map of structures below the tissue surface. We are requesting funds to purchase a Glass Processing System to fabricate the very small optical catheters that are required for this work. This piece of equipment would be shared between the three institutions participating in this application, namely the British Columbia Cancer Research Center (BCCRC), the University of British Columbia (UBC), and Simon Fraser University (SFU). The Glass Processing System would allow researchers to fabricate fiber optical catheters as small as 125um in diameter - about the size of a human hair.

检测肺癌、胃肠道和其他体腔的癌症通常需要非常小的导管来导航所涉及的小路径。申请人开发了使用光纤进行癌症早期检测的工具和设备。这些工具允许医生可视化身体遥远区域的组织和组织成分，例如最常发现癌症的肺的最外围。光学相干断层成像(OCT)是一种新的成像技术，可以在不切除组织(不需要活检)的情况下以高分辨率研究这些高危组织部位。OCT是超声波的光学等价物-它使用光波而不是声波来构建组织表面以下结构的高分辨率地图。我们要求资金购买玻璃加工系统，以制造这项工作所需的非常小的光学导管。参与这项申请的三个机构，即不列颠哥伦比亚省癌症研究中心(BCCRC)、不列颠哥伦比亚省大学(UBC)和西蒙·弗雷泽大学(SFU)将共享这台设备。玻璃加工系统将允许研究人员制造直径小至125微米的光纤导管-大约人类头发的大小。
