Abstract: An apparatus and method for analyzing a tissue sample to provide depth-selective information includes at least one light source, collection light optics, and a light detector. The light source is configured to produce a light beam having one or more wavelengths of light that cause a tissue sample to produce Raman light signals upon interrogation of the tissue sample. The light beam is oriented to impinge on an exposed surface of the tissue sample at a point of incidence (POI), and oriented so that the light beam enters the tissue sample at an oblique angle relative to the exposed surface of the tissue sample. The collection light optics are configured to collect the Raman light signals emanating from the tissue sample at one or more predetermined lateral distances from the point of incidence. The light detector is configured to receive the Raman light signals from the collection light optics.

Abstract: A system and method for imaging a tissue sample is provided. The system includes a dome, at least one excitation light source, and at least one light detector. The dome is configured to surround at least a portion of a tissue sample. The dome has interior surfaces that define a dome interior cavity. The excitation light source is configured to produce light at one or more wavelengths. The excitation light source is in photometric communication with the dome. The dome interior surfaces are configured to reflect the light at the one or more predetermined wavelengths. The dome is configured to cause the light at the one or more predetermined wavelengths to be incident to the exposed surface of the tissue sample in a substantially uniform manner. The light detector is in photometric communication with the dome and configured to detect light emitted or reflected from the tissue sample.

Abstract: A method and system for identifying a Raman spectrum component of an observed spectrum is provided. The observed spectrum is produced by interrogating a material such as a tissue sample with light at the one or more predetermined wavelengths, and the observed spectrum includes a background fluorescence component representative of fluorescent emissions resulting from the light interrogation and a Raman spectrum component representative of a Raman scattering resulting from the light interrogation. The method includes a) creating a reconstructed fluorescence spectrum representative of the background fluorescence component of the observed spectrum using one or more empirically determined fluorescent spectral profiles; and b) identifying the Raman spectrum of the observed spectrum using the reconstructed fluorescence spectrum.

Abstract: An apparatus for holding a tissue specimen during imaging is provided. The tissue specimen has a 3D geometry and a region of interest. The apparatus includes a cover panel and a specimen support structure. The cover panel has upper and bottom panel surfaces and a viewing aperture that extends between the upper and bottom panel surfaces. The specimen support structure is configured to support the tissue specimen in an imaging orientation. The specimen support structure is configured to permit alignment of the tissue specimen ROI with the viewing aperture. The apparatus is configurable in a secured configuration in which the specimen support structure is positionally fixed relative to the cover panel, the tissue specimen ROI is exposed through the viewing aperture for imaging, and the tissue specimen ROI is held motionless relative to the cover panel.

Abstract: A system and method for analyzing a sample using Raman spectral light includes a light source, a light detector, a narrow band pass filter and an analyzer. Within the system, excitation light is directed to interrogate the sample. The narrow band pass filter is positioned to receive Raman scattered light produced as a result of the interrogation. The light detector is positioned to receive the Raman scattered light that has passed through the at least one narrow band pass filter. The analyzer contains stored instructions that when executed cause the processor to a) control the light source; and b) process signals produced by the light detector to analyze the sample material, the signals representative of the intensity of the Raman scattered light received by the at least one light detector corresponding to one or more wavenumbers in a high wavenumber region of a Raman signal.

Abstract: A system and method for determining the presence of cancerous tissue within a tissue cavity is provided. The system includes one or more excitation light sources, a photodetector, a probe, and a system controller. The probe includes an optically transparent probe body configured to fit within the tissue cavity. The system controller is in communication with the excitation light sources, the photodetector, and a memory storing instructions. The instructions when executed cause the system controller to a) control the excitation light sources to produce excitation light beams within the probe body, the excitation light beams operable to produce a response of the tissue to the interrogation and control the photodetector to detect the response and produce signals representative thereof; and b) produce information indicative of a presence of the cancerous tissue using the signals representative of the response.
