Abstract

All-optical ultrasound (OpUS) has emerged as an imaging paradigm well-suited to minimally invasive imaging due to its ability to provide high resolution imaging from miniaturised fibre optic devices. Here, we report a fibre optic device capable of concurrent laser interstitial thermal therapy (LITT) and real-time in situ all-optical ultrasound imaging for lesion monitoring. The device comprised three optical fibres: one each for ultrasound transmission, reception and thermal therapy light delivery. This device had a total lateral dimension of <1 mm and was integrated into a medical needle. Simultaneous LITT and monitoring were performed on ex vivo lamb kidney with lesion depth tracked using M-mode OpUS imaging. Using one set of laser energy parameters for LITT (5 W, 60 s), the lesion depth varied from 3.3 mm to 8.3 mm. In all cases, the full lesion depth could be visualised and measured with the OpUS images and there was a good statistical agreement with stereomicroscope images acquired after ablation (t=1.36, p=0.18). This work demonstrates the feasibility and potential of OpUS to guide LITT in tumour resection.
