RESUMEN

OBJECTIVES: Probe-based confocal laser endomicroscopy (pCLE) is a noninvasive and real-time imaging technique allowing acquisition of in situ images of the tissue microarchitecture during oral surgery. We aimed to assess the diagnostic performance of pCLE combined with patent blue V (PB) in improving the management of early oral cavity, oro/hypopharyngeal, and laryngeal cancer by imaging squamous cell carcinoma in vivo. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The prospective study enrolled 44 patients with early head and neck lesions. All patients underwent white-light inspection or panendoscopy depending on the lesion's location, followed by pCLE imaging of the tumor core and its margins after topical application of PB. Each zone imaged by pCLE was interpreted at distance of the exam by three pathologists blinded to final histology. RESULTS: Most imaged zones could be presented to pathologists; the final sensitivity and specificity of pCLE imaging in head and neck cancers was 73.2-75% and 30-57.4%, respectively. During imaging, head and neck surgeons encountered some challenges that required resolving, such as accessing lesions with the flexible optical probe, achieving sufficiently precise imaging on the targeted tissues, and heterogeneous tissue staining by fluorescent dye. CONCLUSION: Final sensitivity scores were reasonable but final specificity scores were low. pCLE zones used to calculate specificity were acquired in areas of tumor margins, and the poor quality of the images acquired in these areas explains the final low specificity scores. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Practical adjustments and technical training are needed to analyze head and neck lesions in various anatomical sites in real-time by pCLE.

RESUMEN

The purpose of this work was to assess the diagnostic value of magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) in addition to MRI to differentiate malignant from benign breast tumors, and the feasibility of performing MRE on the whole breast. MRE quantified biomechanical properties within the entire breast (50 slices) using an 11 min acquisition protocol at an isotropic image acquisition resolution of 2 × 2 × 2 mm3 . Fifty patients were included. Finally, 43 patients (median age 52) with a suspect breast lesion detected by mammography and/or ultrasound were examined by MRI and MRE at 1.5 T. The viscoelastic parameters, i.e. elasticity (Gd ), viscosity (Gl ), the magnitude of the complex shear modulus Gd2+Gl2, and the phase angle y=2πatanGlGd, were measured via MRE and correlated with MRI Breast Imaging-Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS) score, histological type, and histological grade. Stroma component and angiogenesis were also correlated with viscoelastic properties. In the 43 lesions, Gd decreased and y increased with the MRI BI-RADS score (pGd  = 0.02, py  = 0.002), whereas (Gl ) and y were increased in malignant lesions (pGl  = 0.045, py  = 0.0004). The area under the curve increased from 0.84 for MRI BI-RADS alone to 0.92 with the MRI BI-RADS and y (AUC increase +0.08; 95% CI (-0.003; 0.16)). Lesion characterization using the y parameter increased the diagnostic accuracy. The phase angle y was found to have a significant role (p = 0.01) in predicting malignancy independently of the MRI BI-RADS. Interestingly, histological analysis showed no correlation between viscoelastic parameters and percentage and type of stroma, CD34 quantification of vessels, or histological grade. The combination of MRE and MRI improves the diagnostic accuracy for breast lesions in the studied cohort. In particular, the phase angle y was found to have a significant role in predicting malignancy in addition to BI-RADS.

RESUMEN

New generation ultra-fast fluorescence confocal microscopy (UFCM) allows to image histological architecture of fresh breast tissue and may be used for ex vivo intraoperative analysis for margin status. The criteria to identify breast tumoral and non-tumoral tissues in UFCM images are still objects of investigation. The objective of the study was to create an atlas of ex vivo UFCM images of breast tissues and breast carcinomas based on the first extensive collection of large field-of-view UFCM breast images. One hundred sixty patients who underwent conserving surgery for breast cancer were included. Their fresh surgical specimens were sliced, stained with acridine orange, and imaged at high resolution with large-field-of-view UFCM. The resulting images were digitally false colored to resemble frozen sections. Each UFCM image was correlated with the corresponding definitive histology. Representative images of normal tissue, inflammation, benign lesions, invasive carcinoma (IC), and ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) were collected. A total of 320 large-field images were recorded from 58 IC of no special type, 44 invasive lobular carcinomas, 1 invasive mucinous carcinoma, 47 DCIS, 2 lobular carcinomas in situ, and 8 specimens without cancer. Representative images of the main components of the normal breast and the main types of ICs and DCIS were annotated to establish an UFCM atlas. UFCM enables the imaging of the fresh breast tissue sections. Main morphological criteria defined in traditional histopathology such as tissue architecture and cell features can be applied to describe UFCM images content. The generated atlas of the main normal or tumoral tissue features will support the adoption of this optical technology for the intraoperative examination of breast specimens in clinical practice as it can be used to train physicians on UFCM images and develop artificial intelligence algorithms. Further studies are needed to document rare breast lesions.

RESUMEN

Purpose: The adoption of emerging imaging technologies in the medical community is often hampered when they provide a new unfamiliar contrast that requires experience to be interpreted. Dynamic full-field optical coherence tomography (D-FF-OCT) microscopy is such an emerging technique. It provides fast, high-resolution images of excised tissues with a contrast comparable to H&E histology but without any tissue preparation and alteration. Approach: We designed and compared two machine learning approaches to support interpretation of D-FF-OCT images of breast surgical specimens and thus provide tools to facilitate medical adoption. We conducted a pilot study on 51 breast lumpectomy and mastectomy surgical specimens and more than 1000 individual 1.3×1.3 mm2 images and compared with standard H&E histology diagnosis. Results: Using our automatic diagnosis algorithms, we obtained an accuracy above 88% at the image level (1.3×1.3 mm2) and above 96% at the specimen level (above cm2). Conclusions: Altogether, these results demonstrate the high potential of D-FF-OCT coupled to machine learning to provide a rapid, automatic, and accurate histopathology diagnosis with minimal sample alteration.

RESUMEN

New optical technologies enhancing localization or assessing viability of parathyroid glands (PG) during endocrine surgery have been reported in clinical studies. These technologies could become complementary to the surgeon's eyes and may improve surgical outcomes in thyroidectomy and parathyroidectomy. Here, we conducted a systematic review focusing on PG identification and functional assessment using optical methods to enhance surgery. A systematic literature review was performed using MEDLINE and Embase database. Two authors selected studies and extracted data; qualitative analysis was performed to summarize the characteristics of reported optical tools for thyroidectomy or parathyroidectomy. Identification and vascularisation of PG during surgery were evaluated. Clinical and biochemical outcomes were appraised when reported. Studies relating to parathyroidectomy or thyroidectomy combined with autofluorescence, fluorescent methylene blue, 5-aminolevulinic acid, indocyanine green (ICG), optical coherence tomography, laser speckle contrast imaging, dynamic optical contrast imaging and Raman spectroscopy were identified with MEDLINE and Embase. We included a total of 47 relevant articles with a total of 1615 patients enrolled. Each optical technique is described and appreciated related to its surgical purpose. Autofluorescence and ICG imaging of PG are the most widely reported optical technologies for identification and assessment of vascularisation of PG. Results are mainly based on observational studies and argue for the feasibility of both techniques in endocrine surgery but prospective randomized studies have not been performed. In vivo applications are still limited for the other methods and further investigations correlating these techniques with post-operative parathormone measurements are still needed before considering these technologies in clinical practice.
