for routine histopathologic diagnoses. Furthermore, none of the c ommer­cially available, confocal endoscopes to date generate three-dimensional image sets; thus, the diagnostic potential of images generated from those systems is dependent on operator skill. Therefore, MPM may have practi­cal advantages that are not offered by other optical biopsy techniques when incorporated into endoscopes or thoracoscopes, for enhanced diagnosis of superficial lesions.

Breast Chapter

Daniel Schmolze

Introduction

True in vivo microscopy of the breast is at a very early stage of development. This is mostly due to historical technical constraints, such as the inability to image thick tissues and the relatively large size of the instruments. Devices are now small enough to be incorporated into needles and tiny fiber optic probes, which will doubtless lead to exciting new applications in the breast and other solid organs.
In the meantime, there has been much interest in near real-time ex vivo applications (e.g. for intraoperative margin assessment) and in novel optical techniques for imaging breast lesions. This chapter will focus on these latter techniques since ex vivo breast cancer applications are discussed separately in the ex vivo chapter. The definition of “in vivo microscopy” is used some­what loosely here to include any technique that is capable of discerning tissue ultrastructure via optical methods.

Optical Mammography

Optical mammography is an imaging method that uses near-infrared light to image thick tissues. The technique is also known as diffuse optical imaging (DOI) and near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS). Compared to conventional X-ray mammography, optical mammography is non-radioactive and is able to characterize both functional and structural properties of breast tissue. Unlike X-ray mammography, which achieves contrast through differen­tial radiodensity, optical mammography exploits the differential absorption and scattering of tissue constituents, such as hemoglobin, water, and lipids (Figure 1). As in X-ray mammography, projection images of the breast in a single plane of view are most often acquired, but 3D reconstruction along a particular plane of view is also possible via a technique called tomography, similar to X-ray tomosynthesis.

Figure 1. Optical mammography images at various wavelengths. A cranio-caudal optical image of both breasts is displayed on the right, along with the corresponding X-ray mammogram on the left. A tumor in the left breast is readily identied via strong absorption at 685 nm, likely due to high deoxyhemoglobin content, while benign cysts are identied via their low scattering across wavelengths. Adipose tissue is identied via absorption at 915 nm, corresponding to the radiopaque region on the X-ray mammogram. Adapted from Ref. [2].

The earliest efforts at applying in vivo imaging methods to breast can­cer detection date to the late 1920s, when Cutler
3
developed a technique he called “diaphanography”, which involved simply shining a power­ful light source through the breast and observing the transmitted pat­tern (i.e. the shadow image). The technique could detect lesions with increased absorption due to vascularization but was unable to deter­mine benign from malignant and thus proved unhelpful for diagnostic purposes.
Over the ensuing decades, interest in optical imaging experienced a resurgence with the development of near-infrared laser light sources and technicaladvances that enabled the de-coupling of absorptionand scattering measurements. These advances led to devices capable of discerning tissue structure via scattering measurements made at different wavelengths, and several studies demonstrated reasonable specificity and sensitivity for the detection of breast lesions.
For example,a large European multi-institutionalstudy dubbed OPTI­MAMM used time-resolved pulsed infrared lasers to collect optical images from both breasts, using the standard cranio-caudaland medio-lateral views
4
used in X-ray mammography. One group
developed an instrument that used three wavelengths and depended primarily on total hemoglobin con­centration as a source of contrast. They imaged 154 patients with suspicious breast lesions, of whom 102 were subsequently found to have histologically confirmed carcinoma. 92 of these cases (90%) were detected in one or both views.
Another group within the same study
5
developed a four-wavelength instrument with two long wavelengths (above 900 nm) for increased sensi­tivity to lipids and water. They detected 50 of 52 histologically confirmed carcinomas (96%). A number of benign cysts were also correctly classified, with a detection rate of 90% in one or both views.
These studies and others have generally demonstrated good results with optical mammography, but performance has thus far suffered due to the inherently limited spatial resolution achievable by near-infrared light sources. This limitation hampers the detection of small lesions in particular, which is problematic for screening purposes where early-stage lesions are the focus.
176 D. Schmolze
As a result, there has been a shift away from envisioning optical mam­mography as a standalone screening modality and toward a multimodal model where it is incorporated as a complementary technique alongside more traditional imaging methods. Optical imaging is well suited for this purpose, as the functional information it generates cannot be obtained via X-ray mammography or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which largely provide structural data. When combined, the structural information con­strains the optical image reconstruction, providing enhanced sensitivity, while the functional information from the optical image improves speci­ficity. The result is not unlike positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) but can be achieved more quickly with less expense and with less radiation exposure to the patient.
The multimodal approach appears very promising and is under active investigation by a number of research groups. Various traditional tech­niques have been proposed in combination with optical imaging, includ-

ultrasound.
In a representative study,726 malignant lesions and 25 benign
X-ray tomosynthesis,7MRI,8and
lesions were imaged using a combined optical/X-ray tomosynthesis sys­tem (Figure 2). Significant differences in total hemoglobin concentration were observed between malignant tumors, solid benign lesions, and cysts, and significant differences in oxygen saturation were seen between solid benign lesions and cysts. A follow-up study by the same group
6
used sep­arately obtained X-ray mammograms and optical images and developed an algorithm to effectively co-register the two image types with simi­lar results. Such an approach might ease clinical adoption since existing imaging devices would not have to be retrofitted to incorporate an optical component.
The multimodal studies to date are promising but have generally been exploratory and preliminary with an emphasis on validation of device engi­neering and image analysis. In the next phase of development, some degree of device standardization will be required, followed by randomized clinical trials to assess the clinical performance of multimodal systems in a robust manner.
Besides screening, two other potential use cases for optical imaging of the breast deserve discussion. The first is for following treatment response

in patients receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC). Such treatment is becoming increasingly common, even for patients without locally advanced disease, since it provides an early indication of treatment efficacy and prog-

Typically, MRI is used to assess response to NAC, as it appears
11
How­ever, sensitivity for residual disease is suboptimal, with one study report­ing a negative predictive value of only 65%.
12
A more accurate method for assessing response to NAC would s ignificantly improve individualized treatment planning in this expanding group of patients.
Many studies haveinvestigatedoptical imaging systems for this appli-
cation with promising initial results. Since the first case study demonstrating
13
feasibility,
numerous additional studies have consistently demonstrated
the ability of optical imaging to detect physiologic changes that accompany
14
response to NAC (Figure 3). In one such study,
11 patients receiving NAC were monitored with optical imaging during the course of therapy, and their pre- and post-treatment pathology specimens were evaluated for tumor angiogenesis by immunohistochemistry. For patients who obtained a pathologic complete response (pCR), a significant correlation was found between total hemoglobin concentration as assessed by optical imaging and the level of tumor angiogenesis, providing a mechanistic explanation

for the imaging findings. In addition, for patients who achieved pCR (but not those achieving a partial pathologic response), a significant decrease in mean total hemoglobin was observed via imaging.
These studies and others suggest a role for optical imaging in monitor­ing NAC response, but as for multimodal screening/detection applications, robust data in the form of prospective clinical trials are currently lacking. The low numbers enrolled in most of the studies thus far suggest that a multi-institutional effort may be necessary, which again will n eed to be preceded by technical standardization.
A final potential application for optical mammography lies in screen­ing women with dense breasts. X-ray mammography performs poorly in
16
this context with drastically reduced sensitivity.
This fact informs breast cancer screening guidelines since the risks of screening in younger popu­lations (with denser breasts) are thought to outweigh the potential benefits, given the poor performance of conventional mammography in this cohort of patients.
17,18
While the risk of breast cancer is relatively low for women in their 40s, it is not negligible; at least a quarter of new breast cases arise in younger women, sive than tumors occurring in older women.
18
and moreover, these tumors tend to be more aggres-
19
In addition, some younger patients require screening because they are at high risk of breast cancer (e.g. because of BRCA mutations or a strong family history). Independent of patient age, breast density itself appears to be an independent risk factor

However, there is concern that MRI may be insufficiently

is time-consuming, expensive, and uncomfortable.
Preliminary studies have been performed investigating the utility of optical imaging for dense breast tissue. The initial studies focused primar­ily on quantifying density for the purposes of assessing cancer risk. For example, one study
24
developed an optical index incorporating the effects of collagen and showed correlation with mammographic density. More recently, a pilot study investigated the ability of optical imaging to specifi­cally detect lesions in dense breast tissues.
25
They imaged 24 patients with dense breasts and known diagnoses of breast cancer and applied previously developed optical indices in conjunction with a hand-held imaging probe. 21 of 24 tumors were distinguishable from the surrounding dense normal tissue, including cases close to the nipple–areola complex that could not be imaged using X-ray mammography.
In summary, optical mammography is an exciting and rapidly devel­oping imaging modality with several promising potential applications in breast cancer. As an a djunct to traditional X-ray mammography, optical mammography provides functional information that may increase speci­ficity, reducing false-positive rates and unnecessarybiopsies. The technique may allow for earlier assessment of response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy, improving individualized treatment planning. Finally, optical mammogra­phy may have a role in evaluating patients with dense breasts, perhaps as part of a multimodal imaging platform. In the near future, large-scale clin­ical trials and device standardization are needed to prove clinical efficacy and advance the field.

Photoacoustic Imaging

Photoacoustic Imaging (PAI) can be considered a subtype of optical mam­mography with some important differences. When tissue is exposed to a pulsed near-infrared light source, thermal and elastic expansion occurs,
