accurately staged by OCT and confirmed histologically by biopsy. Similar results were reported by Karl et al., who demonstrated a 100% sensitivity for the identification of bladder lesions as malignant by OCT, using his­tology as the standard.

OCT imaging was also able to accurately stage all lesions invading beyond the lamina propria. Specificity for the pres­ence of malignancy was 65%. Limitations of OCT include relatively high false-positive rates, the learningcurve associated with image interpretation, and the absence of prospective multi-center studies to validate clinical util­ity. Additional research toward smaller caliber instrumentation with higher resonance frequency is currently underway.

CLE is another technology which is FDA-approvedfor use in urology. Similar to OCT, CLE is probe-based and can be inserted within the working channel of standard endoscopes. Commercially available CLE (Cellvizio) utilizes a 488 nm laser and provides dynamic, high-reso lution, subsurface imaging of the mucosal surfaces (Figure 2). Image acquisition is based
Genitourinary System 221
on sterilizable probes (0.85 and 2.6 mm).1CLE images are comparable to conventional histopathology, and CLE was developed initially for enhanced
1,9–11
differentiation of cellular features.
Fluorescein is administered intrav-
esically or intravenously just prior to imaging to serve as a contrast agent.
With the spatial resolution of 1 µm, CLE is capable of differenti­ating between high- and low-grade lesions and of identifying carcinoma in situ (CIS). Zlatev et al. reported a 90% agreement of CLE diagnosis as compared with histology.

According to their criteria for CLE diagnosis, benign urothelium is characterized by large luminal umbrella cells over­lying intermediate and basal cells. Low-grade papillary tumors consist of small uniform cells in papillary arrangements surrounding fibrovascular cores. High-grade lesions, both papillary and flat CIS, contain tumor cells which vary in size and shape, are often large, and show a disorganized architecture.

Limitations of CLE include the need for a contrast agent, flu­orescein, for imaging as well as the learning curve associated with image interpretation.
MPM is an IVM technology which relies on the simultaneous absorp­tion of 2 or 3 near-infrared low-energy photons produced via auto­fluorescence endogenous to the tissue. This auto-fluorescence is driven by cytoplasmic molecules, mainly NADH, FAD, elastin, and lipofuscin,
12
and the second harmonic generation due to collagen.
MPM can generate images comparable to microscopic images ranging from 4× to 20× magni­fication and can image tissue up to a depth of 500 µm in three dimensions. MPM technology is currently being developed for use in endoscopes and probes. The architecture of papillary urothelial carcinoma can be visualized because the central fibro-vascular corecontains collagen, whichis identified by the second harmonic generation. The grade of multilayered malignancy may be diagnosed by evaluating the size, shape, and cellular organization of the tumor cells. An ex vivo pilot study examining the performance of MPM compared to histology of fresh bladder biopsy specimens (Figure 3) reported that MPM had a positive predictive value for urothelial neoplasia of 94%, a negative predictive value for neoplasia of 66%, and a correct distinction between low grade and high grade was achieved in 68% of the
12
cases.

Another ex vivo study assessed the use of MPM in diagnosing flat urothelial lesions, resulting in a 99% accuracy in distinguishing benign from malignant urothelium, with 97% and 100% sensitivity and specificity, respectively.

Although nuclei are seen as blanks by MPM, their sizes,

may be used to distinguish high-grade CIS cells from benign urothelium. Limitations of MPM include the need of adoption for in vivo applications and limited depth of imaging penetration.

Upper Urinary Tracts

Upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC), including the pyelocaliceal sys­tem and ureters, accounts for 5–10% of all urothelial carcinoma.
3
The majority of these malignancies are found within the pyelocalicealcollecting system and are invasive at the time of diagnosis.
14
Diagnostic ureteroscopy is typically performed to visualize lesions identified via either cross­sectional imaging or selective cytology obtained at the time of cystoscopy. Biopsy yield of ureteroscopy can be poor despite advances in technique, and obtained tissue fragments are often disrupted and distorted, increasing
15
the difficulties for histologic diagnoses.
Undergrading of UTUC is partic­ularly concerning given that low-grade tumors may be managed with endo­scopic ablation and surveillance, whereas high-grade and invasive tumors
14
often prohibit renal-sparing therapies.
Invasive UTUC portends a poor survival prognosis and patients with high-grade or invasive disease typi-
14
cally require nephroureterectomy.
For these reasons, the ability to visu­alize upper tract lesions in situ with histologic detail is a valuable adjunct to histopathologic diagnosis and could play a role in improved staging, surveillance, and selection of patients for renal-sparing therapy.
Bus et al. reported a feasibility study on the use of an intraureteral
OCT imaging system during ureteroscopy in patients with high suspicion
16
of urothelial carcinoma prior to nephroureterectomy.
They were able to image the entire ureter and identify multifocal tumors and areas of invasion (Figure 4). OCT staging was concordant with final histopathology, thus demonstrating the feasibility of OCT use in optical biopsy of UTUC.
Two CLE feasibility studies for UTUC have been published in patients
undergoing ureteroscopy for suspected urothelial neoplasia.

(Figure 5). Diagnostic criteria in the upper tracts were found to be identi­cal to those for CLE diagnosis within the bladder (Figure 6). Breda et al. demonstrated that CLE performed at the time of ureteroscopy resulted in correspondence to final histopathologic diagnosis in 100% of low-grade UTUC, 83% of high-grade UTUC, and 100% of UTUC CIS.

Initial studies with OCT and CLE systems are promising and addi­tional research is needed to prospectively validate these tools and identify the most appropriate technology for each clinical setting.

Kidney

Renal tumors represent a range of diagnoses, from benign simple cysts to aggressive malignancies. Resected renal masses under 4 cm in size are found to be benign in 20% of the cases. most commonly diagnosed malignancy of the kidney. Tumor size, stage,

grade, and pathologic subtype serve as prognostic factors in RCC.20The management of renal masses is determined according to risk and patientfac­tors and may consist of biopsy, active surveillance, renal-sparing therapies, or radical nephrectomy. Improvement in radiological imaging technology, combined with growing utilization of cross-sectional imaging, has resulted in increased detection of small, localized renal masses.
21
The management of these tumors poses both diagnostic and treatment challenges. In patients who elect to pursue either active surveillance or ablative therapies, accurate histologic diagnosis will guide treatment and surveillance decisions. Those with small renal masses who elect to pursue surgical therapy are frequently candidates for renal-sparing, partial nephrectomy.
20
During renal-sparing surgery, it is important to identify the tumor intraoperatively, to distinguish benign kidney parenchyma from malignant tissue, and to evaluate mar­gin status after resection. Traditionally, tumor localization is done using intraoperative ultrasound guidance, and margin status is evaluated either by frozen section or by final histology.
IVM technologies are currently being investigated in clinical feasibility studies to evaluate their usefulness in identifying renal mass his­tology, distinguishing benign from malignant lesions, and evaluating resec­tion margins. Most of these studies are in the ex vivo setting, in which the
22
imaging is performed on resected tumor and margin specimens.
Confocal microscopy, both in the form of CLE and confocal fluorescence microscopy, has shown promising results in identifying renal neoplasms and in deter­mining histologic subtypes (Figure 7).
22,23
In ex vivo feasibility studies using full-field OCT (ff-OCT), which cre­ates OCT images in cross-section, investigators have distinguished benign from malignant renal tumors and have characterized features of varying
24,25
pathologic subtypes of RCC (Figure 8).
In vivo application remains to
be demonstrated.
Ex vivo feasibility studies of MPM have been conducted to evaluate the feasibilityof identifying and classifyingrenal tumors. In 2016, Jain et al. imaged kidney tissue with MPM immediately after resection and were able
26
to distinguish benign renal parenchyma from malignant tissue.
In addi-
tion, they were able to characterize histologicsubtypes (Figure 9). Clear cell

carcinomas demonstrated a solid architecture with cytoplasmicfat droplets identified by MPM. Chromophobe RCC also had a solid architecture, with a distinct granular cytoplasm and lacked fat droplets. Papillary carcinoma showed a single layer of tumor cells on papillary fibrovascular cores, which contained collections of bright histiocytes. Papillary urothelial carcinoma contained a multilayered neoplastic proliferation surrounding the papil­lary cores. Another study using MPM imaging and morphometric analysis reported on the feasibility of distinguishing malignant chromophobe renal cell carcinoma from benign oncocytoma in fixed, unstained, deparaffinized
