Imaging of lumpectomy surface by large field-of-view confocal laser scanning microscopy 'Histolog® scanner' for breast margin assessment (CAT#: STEM-MIT-0166-LJX)

Introduction

Breast cancer is the phenomenon that mammary epithelial cells proliferate out of control under the action of a variety of carcinogenic factors. In the early stage, the disease is often manifested as breast mass, nipple discharge, axillary lymph node enlargement and other symptoms. In the late stage, cancer cells may metastasize far away and appear multiple organ lesions, which directly threaten the life of patients. Focal excision is a common treatment for breast cancer.<br />The Histolog® Scanner (SamanTree Medical SA, Lausanne, Switzerland) is a large field-of-view confocal laser scanning microscope designed to allow intraoperative margin assessment by the production of histological images ready for assessment in the operating room. The service evaluated the feasibility and the performance of the Histolog® Scanner (HS) to correctly identify infiltrated margins in clinical practice of lumpectomy specimens.

Principle

Laser scanning confocal microscope is a high-tech microscope. It is based on fluorescence microscope imaging and equipped with a laser scanning device, which uses ultraviolet or visible light to excite the fluorescence probe, thereby obtaining fluorescence images of the internal microstructure of cells or tissues.
The laser beam is used as the light source in the laser scanning confocal microscope. The laser beam passes through the illuminating pinhole and is reflected to the objective lens through the spectroscope. The laser beam is focused on the sample, and every point on the focal plane of the specimen is scanned. If there is a fluorescent substance that can be excited in the tissue sample, the fluorescence emitted after excitation is directly reversed back to the spectroscope through the original incident light path, and is first focused when passing through the detection pinhole. The focused light is detected and collected by the photomultiplier tube (PMT), and the signal is sent to the computer, and the image is displayed on the computer monitor after processing.
