Abstract
Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is a group of lung conditions, characterized by inflammation and pulmonary fibrosis. High-resolution computed tomography (HRCT), is often insufficient to detect fibrosis, and acquisition of lung biopsies is needed. Polarization-sensitive optical coherence tomography (PS-OCT) provides high-resolution images of the airways and fibrotic tissue-specific contrast by assessing tissue birefringence in a minimally invasive way. We developed a distal scanning endoscope and performed in-vivo PS-OCT measurements by advancing the endoscope in the lungs of 16 ILD patients undergoing biopsy acquisition and in 3 asthma patients included as non-fibrotic controls. Fibrosis was quantified in the acquired PS-OCT images, in HRCT, and in biopsies. Results show excellent correlation of PS-OCT detected fibrosis with histologically confirmed fibrosis, while HRCT only showed a poor-moderate correlation with histology for fibrosis quantification.
