Abstract

PURPOSE: Raman Spectroscopy is amongst several optical imaging techniques that have the ability to characterize tissue non-invasively. To use these technologies for intraoperative tissue classification, fast and efficient analysis of optical data is required with minimal operator intervention. Additionally, there is a need for a reliable database of optical signatures to account for variable conditions. We developed a software system with an inexpensive, flexible mechanical framework to facilitate automated scanning of tissue and validate spectroscopic scans with histologic ground truths. This system will be used, in the future, to train a machine learning algorithm to distinguish between different tissue types using Raman Spectroscopy. METHODS: A sample of chicken breast tissue is mounted to a microscope slide following a biopsy of fresh frozen tissue. Landmarks for registration and evaluation are marked on the specimen using a material that is recognizable in both spectroscopic and histologic analysis. The slides are optically analyzed using our software. The landmark locations are extraction from the spectroscopic scan of the specimen using our software. This information is then compared to the landmark locations extracted from images of the slide using the software, ImageJ. RESULTS: Target registration error of our system in comparison to ImageJ was found to be within 1.1 mm in both x and y directions. CONCLUSION: We demonstrated a system that can employ accurate spectroscopic scans of fixed tissue samples. This system can be used to spectroscopically scan tissue and validate the results with histology images in the future.
