Abstract

To determine the ability of optical coherence tomography (OCT) in differentiating human renal tumours in an in-vivo setting by assessing differences in attenuation coefficient (µ(OCT); mm(-1)) as a quantitative measurement. Consecutive patients undergoing nephrectomy (partial/radical) or cryoablation for an enhancing solid renal tumour were included in our centre between October 2010 and May 2011. In vivo OCT images were obtained from renal tumour and normal parenchyma during surgery. Ex vivo OCT images of internal (subcapsular) tissue were obtained after longitudinal dissection of the extirpated specimen. Attenuation coefficients of the OCT images were determined off-line and compared between normal renal parenchyma and renal tumours (grouped per tissue type and per individual patient); and between OCT images recorded from tissue surface vs internal (subcapsular) tissue. In vivo OCT was performed in 16 cases (11 renal cell carcinoma, three benign tumours, one non-diagnostic biopsy and one not-accessible tumour). Median attenuation coefficient of normal renal parenchyma was 5.0 mm(-1) vs 8.2 mm(-1) for tumour tissue (P < 0.001) with normal parenchyma differing significantly from malignant tumour (9.2 mm(-1), P < 0.001) and non-...Continue Reading
