Abstract
A multimodal optical coherence tomography (MM OCT) combining microstructural cross-polarization (CP) imaging and compression OCT-elastography (OCE) was employed in this study. The research was carried out on the noninvasive and invasive subtypes of human breast cancer. This study demonstrates how CP OCT combined with OCTelastography identifies an example of DCIS cancer that progresses into invasive breast cancer. OCE images more clearly show the cross sections of the ducts filled with tumor cells for DCIS (high-contrast structures with clear boundaries and high stiffness values) surrounded by areas with lower stiffness corresponding to fibrous stroma regions. The regions of invasive breast cancer in OCE-scans look as zones with strongly increased stiffness, which well agrees with the histology. Percentage of pixels with different characteristic stiffness ("stiffness spectrum") in the OCTelastography images was assessed to quantitatively visualize stiffness of tumor. The demonstrated ability of MM OCT imaging for breast cancer subtypes differentiation and breast cancer margin assessment is important for improved managements of patients.
