Multiphoton endoscopes enable deep-tissue skin imaging for noninvasive detection of skin cancer and assessment of dermal components like collagen and elastin. This technology advances medical imaging for dermatology and intracorporal applications.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Dermatology
  • Biophotonics

Background:

  • Two-photon microscopy is valuable for noninvasive skin cancer detection and drug screening.
  • There's a growing need for multiphoton technology in deep-tissue and intracorporal imaging.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report the first clinical use of multiphoton endoscopes for deep-tissue skin imaging.
  • To evaluate a miniaturized rigid two-photon GRIN lens endoscope for in vivo imaging.

Main Methods:

  • A miniaturized rigid two-photon GRIN lens endoscope was coupled to the DermaInspect multiphoton tomograph.
  • In vivo imaging was performed on human volunteers and patients with ulcers.
  • Second harmonic generation and two-photon autofluorescence were used to detect extracellular matrix proteins.

Main Results:

  • The study demonstrated the feasibility of clinical application of multiphoton endoscopes.
  • Extracellular matrix proteins, collagen and elastin, were successfully visualized in the human dermis.
  • The technology allows for in vivo imaging of dermal structures without contrast agents.

Conclusions:

  • Multiphoton endoscopes represent a significant advancement for deep-tissue and intracorporal medical imaging.
  • This technology holds promise for enhanced dermatological diagnostics and research.
  • The developed microendoscope facilitates noninvasive visualization of dermal components.
