A diffuse reflectance spectral imaging system for tumor margin assessment using custom annular photodiode arrays.
Abstract
Diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) is a well-established method to quantitatively
distinguish between benign and cancerous tissue for tumor margin assessment. Current
multipixel DRS margin assessment tools are bulky fiber-based probes that have limited
scalability. Reported herein is a new approach to multipixel DRS probe design, which
utilizes direct detection of the DRS signal by using optimized custom photodetectors
in direct contact with the tissue. This first fiberless DRS imaging system for tumor
margin assessment consists of a 4 × 4 array of annular silicon photodetectors and
a constrained free-space light delivery tube optimized to deliver light across a 256
mm(2) imaging area. This system has 4.5 mm spatial resolution. The signal-to-noise
ratio measured for normal and malignant breast tissue-mimicking phantoms was 35 dB
to 45 dB for λ = 470 nm to 600 nm.
