JOURNAL OF BIOPHOTONICS 2022; 15:e202200098. [PMID: 35701385 DOI: 10.1002/jbio.202200098] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/03/2022] [Revised: 05/18/2022] [Accepted: 06/07/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
In this study, an automatic algorithm combining an ellipsoid approximation and U-net has been presented for the characterization of a zebrafish's yolk sac. The polarization-difference-balanced-detection image of zebrafish was obtained based on orthogonal-polarization-gating optical coherence tomography and used to segment the yolk sac region. And ellipsoid can approximate the shape of the three-dimensional yolk sac, and the multiple parameters of volume and the three principal axes (k, l and m) can be used to quantify the yolk sac. In addition, the multiple parameters of two principal axes (l and m) and volume can distinguish the malformation from the normal controlled group. Finally, the volume malformation of the yolk sac calculated by the proposed algorithm ranges from 16.55% to 46.05%. Thus, the degree of malformation can be applied for toxicity analysis. And this method provides a potential application for an accurate judgment index for biotoxicological testing.

Non-destructive characterization of adult zebrafish models using Jones matrix optical coherence tomography. BIOMEDICAL OPTICS EXPRESS 2022; 13:2202-2223. [PMID: 35519284 PMCID: PMC9045912 DOI: 10.1364/boe.455876] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/10/2022] [Revised: 03/03/2022] [Accepted: 03/03/2022] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
The zebrafish is a valuable vertebrate animal model in pre-clinical cancer research. A Jones matrix optical coherence tomography (JM-OCT) prototype operating at 1310 nm and an intensity-based spectral-domain OCT setup at 840 nm were utilized to investigate adult wildtype and a tumor-developing zebrafish model. Various anatomical features were characterized based on their inherent scattering and polarization signature. A motorized translation stage in combination with the JM-OCT prototype enabled large field-of-view imaging to investigate adult zebrafish in a non-destructive way. The diseased animals exhibited tumor-related abnormalities in the brain and near the eye region. The scatter intensity, the attenuation coefficients and local polarization parameters such as the birefringence and the degree of polarization uniformity were analyzed to quantify differences in tumor versus control regions. The proof-of-concept study in a limited number of animals revealed a significant decrease in birefringence in tumors found in the brain and near the eye compared to control regions. The presented work showed the potential of OCT and JM-OCT as non-destructive, high-resolution, and real-time imaging modalities for pre-clinical research based on zebrafish.

Abstract
We present a dual modality functional optical coherence tomography and photoacoustic microscopy (OCT-PAM) system. The photoacoustic modality employs an akinetic optical sensor with a large imaging window. This imaging window enables direct reflection mode operation, and a seamless integration of optical coherence tomography (OCT) as a second imaging modality. Functional extensions to the OCT-PAM system include Doppler OCT (DOCT) and spectroscopic PAM (sPAM). This functional and non-invasive imaging system is applied to image zebrafish larvae, demonstrating its capability to extract both morphological and hemodynamic parameters in vivo in small animals, which are essential and critical in preclinical imaging for physiological, pathophysiological and drug response studies.

Abstract
Zebrafish play an important role in biology, pharmacology, toxicology, and medicine. The cardio-cerebrovascular development of zebrafish is particularly critical to understand both brain disorders and cardiovascular diseases in human. In this paper, we applied optical resolution photoacoustic microscopy (ORPAM) to image the whole-body vasculature of the embryonic zebrafish with a special focus on the development of the cardio-cerebrovascular system. Using the intrinsic optical absorption contrast of the embryo, we successfully visualized the formation of the cardio-cerebrovascular network in high-resolution using a 10 × objective, and monitored the whole-body vascular development using a 4 × objective. In addition, we evaluated the impact of the eggshell and pigment inhibitor on the image quality. Our results suggest that ORPAM is capable of studying the cardio-cerebrovascular development of zebrafish in the embryonic stage, and thus has the potential to investigate the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases of human in the future.

Abstract
Embryogenesis is a highly complex and dynamic process, and its visualization is crucial for understanding basic physiological processes during development and for identifying and assessing possible defects, malformations, and diseases. While traditional imaging modalities, such as ultrasound biomicroscopy, micro-magnetic resonance imaging, and micro-computed tomography, have long been adapted for embryonic imaging, these techniques generally have limitations in their speed, spatial resolution, and contrast to capture processes such as cardiodynamics during embryogenesis. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a noninvasive imaging modality with micrometer-scale spatial resolution and imaging depth up to a few millimeters in tissue. OCT has bridged the gap between ultrahigh resolution imaging techniques with limited imaging depth like confocal microscopy and modalities, such as ultrasound sonography, which have deeper penetration but poorer spatial resolution. Moreover, the noninvasive nature of OCT has enabled live imaging of embryos without any external contrast agents. We review how OCT has been utilized to study developing embryos and also discuss advances in techniques used in conjunction with OCT to understand embryonic development.

Abstract
Zebrafish play an important role in biological and biomedical research. Traditional in vivo imaging methods for studying zebrafish larvae primarily require fluorescence labeling. In this work, relying on tissue intrinsic optical absorption contrast, we acquired high resolution label-free 3D images of zebrafish larvae by using photoacoustic microscopy (PAM) in vivo. The spatial resolution reaches several microns, allowing the study of microstructures in various living organs. We demonstrated that our method has the potential to be a powerful non-invasive imaging method for studying various small animal models, including zebrafish larvae, Caenorhabditis elegans, frogs and drosophila larvae.
