We report the implementation of the transnasal image-guided high wavenumber (HW) Raman spectroscopy to differentiate tumor from normal laryngeal tissue at endoscopy. A rapid-acquisition Raman spectroscopy system coupled with a miniaturized fiber-optic Raman probe was utilized to realize real-time HW Raman (2800-3020 cm(-1)) measurements in the larynx. A total of 94 HW Raman spectra (22 normal sites, 72 tumor sites) were acquired from 39 patients who underwent laryngoscopic screening. Significant differences in Raman intensities of prominent Raman bands at 2845, 2880 and 2920 cm(-1) (CH2 stretching of lipids), and 2940 cm(-1) (CH3 stretching of proteins) were observed between normal and cancer laryngeal tissue. The diagnostic algorithms based on principal components analysis (PCA) and linear discriminant analysis (LDA) together with the leave-one subject-out, cross-validation method on HW Raman spectra yielded a diagnostic sensitivity of 90.3% (65/72) and specificity of 90.9% (20/22) for laryngeal cancer identification. This study demonstrates that HW Raman spectroscopy has the potential for the noninvasive, real-time diagnosis and detection of laryngeal cancer at the molecular level. (C) 2012 Elsevier BM.

Mapping the Intratumoral Heterogeneity in Glioblastomas with Hyperspectral Stimulated Raman Scattering Microscopy

Kideog Bae, Le Xin, Wei Zheng, Carol Tang, Beng-Ti Ang, Zhiwei Huang

Summary: Recent genomic studies have paved the way for effective clinical treatments of glioblastoma (GBM) subtypes, but intratumoral heterogeneity complicates subtype identification. The use of hyperspectral stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) microscopy allows for rapid, label-free molecular assessment of GBM intratumoral heterogeneity. By developing a unique SRS imaging diagnostic platform, it is possible to accurately determine tumor heterogeneity in GBM tissues, thus potentially improving targeted therapy for GBM in the future.

Super-resolution stimulated Raman scattering microscopy with the phase-shifted spatial frequency modulation

Xiaobo Lv, Li Gong, Shulang Lin, Peng Jin, Zhiwei Huang

Summary: We have developed a unique super-resolution stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) microscopy technique called phase-shifted spatial frequency modulation (PSFM) under widefield illumination. This technique enables super-resolution chemical imaging with single-pixel detection. By projecting pump and Stokes laser patterns with varying spatial frequencies onto the sample and combining with a proposed phase shift, higher spatial information can be rapidly retrieved using fast inverse Fourier-transform. This technique provides approximately 2.2-fold improvement in spatial resolution compared to conventional point-scan SRS microscopy, while requiring much reduced laser excitation power density, suggesting its potential for label-free super-resolution chemical imaging in cells and tissue.
