Abstract

We developed a multispectral fluorescence-reflectance scanning fiber endoscope (SFE) for wide-field molecular imaging of fluorescence-labeled molecular probes. Concurrent multi-channels imaging with the wide-field SFE also allows for real-time mitigation of background autofluorescence (AF) signal, especially when the FDA approved fluorescein is used as the target fluorophore. In the current study, we demonstrated a real-time AF mitigation algorithm on a tissue phantom which featured molecular probe targeted cells of high grade dysplasia on a substrate containing AF species. The targetto- background ratio was enhanced by over an order of magnitude when applying the real-time AF mitigation algorithm. By minimizing the background signal, multispectral fluorescence imaging can provide sufficient image contrast and quantitative target information for detecting small pre-cancerous lesions in vivo.
