Molecular imaging can identify the location to perform a frozen biopsy during intraoperative frozen section consultation.

<h4>Background</h4>Intraoperative frozen section (FS) consultation is an important tool in surgical oncology that suffers from sampling error because the pathologist does not always know where to perform a biopsy of the surgical specimen. Intraoperative molecular imaging is a technology...

Intraoperative molecular imaging is a technology used in the OR to visualize lesions during surgery.

Here, we report the development and validation of a molecular-imaging capable cryostat called Smart-Cut.<h4>Methods</h4>A molecular imaging capable cryostat prototype was developed and tested using a murine model. Tumors grown in mice were targeted with a NIR contrast agent, indocyanine green (ICG), via tail vein injection. Tumors and adjacent normal tissue samples were frozen sectioned with Smart-Cut. Fluorescent sections and non-fluorescent sections were prepared for H&E and fluorescent microscopy. Fluorescent signal was quantified by tumor-to-background ratio (TBR). NIR fluorescence was tested in one patient enrolled in a clinical trial.<h4>Results</h4>The Smart-Cut prototype has a small footprint and fits well in the pathology suite. Fluorescence imaging with Smart-Cut identified cancerous tissue in the specimen in all 12 mice. No false positives or false negatives were seen, as confirmed by H&E. The mean TBR in Smart-Cut positive tissue sections was 6.8 (SD±3.8). In a clinical application in the pathology suite, NIR imaging identified two lesions in a pulmonary resection specimen, where traditional grossing only identified one.<h4>Conclusion</h4>Molecular imaging can be integrated into the pathology suite via the Smart-Cut device, and can detect cancer in frozen tissue sections using molecular imaging in a murine model.Mitchell G BryskiLydia G Frenzel-SulyokE James DelikatnyCharuhas DeshpandeLeslie A LitzkySunil SinghalPublic Library of Science (PLoS)articleMedicineRScienceQENPLoS ONE, Vol 16, Iss 6, p e0252731 (2021)
