Line-field dynamic optical coherence tomography platform for volumetric assessment of biological tissues
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Dynamic optical coherence tomography (dOCT) utilizes time-dependent signal intensity fluctuations to enhance contrast in OCT images and indirectly probe physiological processes in cells. Majority of the dOCT studies published so far are based on acquisition of 2D images (B-scans or C-scans) by utilizing point-scanning Fourier domain (spectral or swept-source) OCT or full-field OCT respectively, primarily due to limitations in the image acquisition rate. Here we introduce a novel, high-speed spectral domain line-field dOCT (SD-LF-dOCT) system and image acquisition protocols designed for fast, volumetric dOCT imaging of biological tissues. The imaging probe is based on an exchangeable afocal lens pair that enables selection of combinations of transverse resolution (from 1.1 µm to 6.4 µm) and FOV (from 250 × 250 µm2 to 1.4 × 1.4 mm2), suitable for different biomedical applications. The system offers axial resolution of ∼ 1.9 µm in biological tissue, assuming an average refractive index of 1.38. Maximum sensitivity of 90.5 dB is achieved for 3.5 mW optical imaging power at the tissue surface and maximum camera acquisition rate of 2,000 fps. Volumetric dOCT images acquired with the SD-LF-dOCT system from plant tissue (cucumber), animal tissue (mouse liver) and human prostate carcinoma spheroids allow for volumetric visualization of the tissues’ cellular and sub-cellular structures and assessment of cellular motility.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
