Abstract

Near-infrared optical tomography is an interesting technique of imaging with high blood-based contrast. Unfortunately non-invasive NIR tomographic imaging has been restricted to specific organs like breast that can be transilluminated externally. In this paper, we demonstrate that near-infrared (NIR) optical tomography can be employed at the endoscopescale, and implemented at a rapid sampling speed that allows translation to in vivo use. A spread-spectral-encoding technique based on a broadband light source is combined with light delivery by linear-to-circular fiber bundle, to provide endoscopic probing of multiple source/detector fibers for tomographic imaging as well as parallel sampling of all source-detector pairs for rapid data acquisition. Endoscopic NIR tomography is demonstrated by use of a 12mm diameter probe housing 8 sources and 8 detectors at 8 Hz frame rate. Transrectal NIR optical tomography by use of tissue specimen is also presented. This novel approach provides the key feasibility studies to allow this blood-based contrast imaging technology to be tried in cancer detection of internal organs via endoscopic interrogation.
