We describe the technique of fluorescence image guided optical coherence tomography (FG-OCT). We examined its ability to enhance specificity and sensitivity for the noninvasive diagnosis of early bladder cancer.
Transitional cell carcinoma was developed in 54 Fisher 344 female rats by intravesical methyl-nitroso-urea instillations. Two or three rats were diagnosed sequentially by 5-ALA (5-aminolevulinic acid hydrochloride) induced fluorescence imaging, cross-sectional OCT and histological microscopy weekly during weeks 11 to 33 following initial methyl-nitroso-urea instillation to track the course of carcinogenesis.
The specificity of fluorescence detection was significantly enhanced by FG-OCT (53% and 93%, respectively, p <0.0001). The sensitivity of fluorescence detection and FG-OCT was 79% and 100%, respectively.
FG-OCT cystoscopy has the potential to diagnose early bladder cancer with high sensitivity and specificity with drastically decreased imaging time compared to that of white light guided OCT cystoscopy.
我们描述了荧光图像引导光学相干断层扫描(FG-OCT)技术。我们研究了其在早期膀胱癌无创诊断中提高特异性和敏感性的能力。
通过膀胱内灌注甲基亚硝基脲在54只Fisher 344雌性大鼠中诱发移行细胞癌。在首次灌注甲基亚硝基脲后的第11至33周,每周依次对两到三只大鼠进行5-氨基乙酰丙酸(5-ALA,盐酸5-氨基乙酰丙酸)诱导的荧光成像、横截面OCT和组织学显微镜检查,以追踪致癌过程。
FG-OCT显著提高了荧光检测的特异性(分别为53%和93%,p<0.0001)。荧光检测和FG-OCT的敏感性分别为79%和100%。
与白光引导的OCT膀胱镜检查相比,FG-OCT膀胱镜检查有可能以高敏感性和特异性诊断早期膀胱癌,且成像时间大幅缩短。
