Suppression of motion artifacts in wide-field swept-source optical coherence tomography (OCT)

Perimeter是一家位于多伦多的开发阶段医疗器械公司，致力于开发手术中组织评估工具。他们正在寻求开发第二代光学组织成像系统（奥蒂斯），一种基于光学相干断层扫描（OCT）的设备。新产品将提高图像质量和数据采集速度，并使其在乳腺癌手术室中使用成为可能，以确认从患者身上完全切除癌组织。我们在瑞尔森大学的团队在生物医学领域的超声和光学方面拥有丰富的经验，他们将与Perimeter合作开发基于扫频光源光学相干断层扫描（SS-OCT）的原型系统，该系统具有更高的速度和灵敏度，同时抑制运动伪影。

Perimeter is a Toronto based, development-stage, medical device company dedicated to developing in-surgery tissue assessment tools. They are looking to develop a 2nd generation Optical Tissue Imaging System (OTIS), a device based on optical coherence tomography (OCT). The new product would improve the image quality and speed of data acquisition and make it feasible for use in a operating room for breast cancer surgery to confirm the full removal of cancerous tissue from the patient. Our team at Ryerson University, with extensive experience in ultrasound and optics in the biomedical sciences, will work with Perimeter to develop a prototype Swept-Source Optical Coherence Tomography (SS-OCT) based system that has the capability of higher speed and sensitivity while at the same time suppressing motion artifacts.
