研究目的
Investigating the use of a picosecond infrared laser (PIRL) for precise tissue ablation with minimal damage to surrounding healthy tissue and the analysis of the ablation plume via mass spectrometry for tissue characterization, guided by optical coherence tomography (OCT).
研究成果
The prototypical system successfully demonstrates OCT-navigated PIRL ablation with mass spectrometric analysis, providing precise tissue characterization and spatial mapping of ablation results. This approach holds promise for clinical applications in tumor ablation and diagnosis.
研究不足
The study is limited to porcine tissue samples and does not address human tissue variability. The calibration between the OCT and robot is simplified to lateral calibration, potentially affecting precision in complex geometries.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study combines a PIRL for tissue ablation, mass spectrometry for plume analysis, and OCT for imaging guidance. A hexapod robot is used for precise laser fiber positioning.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Porcine tissue samples containing muscle and fat are used.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
PIRL system (PIRL HP31064 OPA3000, Attodyne, Canada), mass spectrometry system (Thermo Scientific Dionex UltiMate 3000 RSLC nano, Orbitrap Fusion TM Tribrid TM), OCT system (Telesto I, Thorlabs, USA), and a hexapod robot.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Alternating between OCT volume acquisition and robotic laser ablation with simultaneous plume collection.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Mass spectrometry data is processed using MaxQuant software for protein identification and intensity analysis.
