Area of Science:

  • Biomedical optics
  • Surgical oncology
  • Medical imaging

Background:

  • Surgical management of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) relies on accurate margin assessment.
  • Intraoperative tools for detecting microcalcifications in resection margins are currently lacking.
  • Microcalcifications are key indicators in DCIS, necessitating precise surgical removal.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate a novel cross-polarized multispectral microcamera for intraoperative detection of microcalcifications.
  • To assess the feasibility of real-time visualization of microcalcifications in excised breast tissue.
  • To determine the efficacy of this imaging technique in improving surgical margin assessment.

Main Methods:

  • Ex-vivo imaging of excised breast tissue slices from 12 patients using a cross-polarized multispectral microcamera.
  • Achieved an imaging depth of up to 2 mm with visualization of features down to 50 μm.
  • Cross-correlation with mammography images for microcalcification identification and analysis of detection efficacy based on calcification characteristics.

Main Results:

  • The microcamera provided clear, magnified color images of the tissue surface.
  • Detection efficacy was influenced by calcification clustering and depth (within 2 mm).
  • Average reviewer accuracy was 79.0% (sensitivity 77.8%, specificity 80.0%) for microcalcification detection.

Conclusions:

  • The integrated microcamera and cross-polarized setup shows potential for non-invasive, real-time detection of superficial microcalcifications.
  • This approach offers promising results for enhancing surgical precision in breast cancer surgery.
  • Further research and clinical applications are warranted to optimize this technology for intraoperative use.
