Abstract
No diagnostic method is currently available to visualize and measure the airway smooth muscle (ASM) within a living patient. Endoscopic Polarization Sensitive Optical Coherence Tomography (PS-OCT) might enable quantification of ASM mass in vivo, by assessing tissue birefringence. We performed in vivo PS-OCT on patients (n=17) with airway diseases (asthma and interstitial lung disease) and one healthy volunteer. An in-house built distal scanning catheter (1.35 mm) was used to circumferentially scan the airways at 52 fps B-scan rate. We demonstrated PS-OCT to be a minimally invasive technique to assess ASM thickness in diseased airways relative to healthy subjects.
