    A novel nonlinear optical endoscope offers high-resolution 3-D imaging for cancer diagnosis. This technology visualizes tissue morphology and cell nuclei, aiding histopathologic interpretation without excising tissue samples.

    Area of Science:

    • Biomedical Optics
    • Medical Imaging
    • Cancer Diagnostics

    Background:

    • Current cancer diagnosis relies on imaging modalities that can be complemented by advanced techniques.
    • Miniaturized nonlinear optical microscopy and endoscopy are crucial for enhanced cancer detection and monitoring.
    • There is a need for high-resolution, in vivo imaging techniques for accurate histopathologic interpretation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and demonstrate a miniaturized nonlinear optical endoscope for 3-D tissue imaging.
    • To evaluate the endoscope's capability in visualizing complex tissue structures, including gastrointestinal and breast cancer tissues.
    • To assess the potential of this technology for non-excision histopathologic interpretation.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a nonlinear optical endoscope utilizing a double-clad photonic crystal fiber.
