Abstrakt: Objectives: Traditional histopathology is a time-intensive and labor-intensive process involving tissue formalin fixation, paraffin embedding, and microtoming into thin sections for H&E staining. Frozen section analysis is a modality used during surgery to quickly evaluate tissue, but it has limitations, such as the size and number of the specimens that can be analyzed as well as difficulties with fatty and bony tissues. Our objective was to investigate the performance of nonlinear microscopy, a fluorescence microscopy technique, for the rapid examination of resected lung tumors.
Methods: In this proof-of-principle study, nonlinear microscopy imaging of resected lung tissue was performed on a total of 73 tissue specimens collected from 13 patients who underwent lobectomy, segmentectomy, or wedge resection for pulmonary nodules.
Results: Two pathologists reviewed the digital nonlinear microscopy images in comparison to the corresponding histopathologic H&E slides from a variety of pulmonary pathologies.
Conclusions: This study demonstrated that nonlinear microscopy readily replicates traditional H&E staining for both lung tumors and nonneoplastic pulmonary structures. Nonlinear microscopy provides many advantages over frozen section analysis and is an optical imaging platform that has the potential to augment rapid pathologic evaluation of resected tissues in the age of digital pathology.
