Epithelial cancers Epithelial cancer development Epithelial tissue Invasive cancer Epithelium Carcinoma in situ Epithelium Connective tissue Cells genetically altered Severe dysplasia Hyperplasia Vessels Connective tissue (collagen, elastin…) Time 90% of cancers Detection of precancerous stage Recovery of patients in 95% of cases

  5. Cervical cancer • Major health problem: the second most common female cancer in the world with 275 000 deaths per year, mainly in developing countries (but not only) • Slow evolution (10 - 20 years): ideal case for screening • Direct access to cancer • Model for other epithelial cancers

  6. Cervical cancer screening Current practice Colposcopy Conization Colposcopy : inefficient technique (generating supplementary costs) (60-70% sensitivity and 50% specificity for high-grade dysplasia detection) Visualization of dysplastic areas for biopsy is very difficult and operator dependent Resection margins to achieve a cone biopsy (conization) are poorly defined Significant improvement of colposcopy can make the early detection and surgery both more effective and affordable

  7. Polarization of light Electric field (Polarization) Magnetic field Depolarized light Elliptical polarization Linear polarization y y y x x x

  8. Polarimetric properties Retardance Depolarization Diattenuation Introduction of « disorder » in the evolution of the electric field Phase difference between two polarization eigenstates Difference of transmission for two polarization eigenstates slow fast Birefringence: refraction index varies with polarization Dichroïsm: Absorption coefficient varies with polarization Stochastic process (multiple-scattering) • Biological origins : • Organelles, cytoplasm, fibers… • Biological origins : • Single scattering • Transmission anisotropy of some molecules • Biological origins : • Collagen, elastin, muscle fibers (myosin, actin…)

Mueller polarimetry Stokes vector 4-component vector which describes completely the polarization of light Intensity measurements Mueller matrix M Complete polarimetric response of a sample (including depolarization) Decompositions based on hypothesis on the physical structure of the sample Lu and Chipman [1] : M= MdMRMDReverse : M = MDrMRrMdrSymmetric: M = MD2MR2Mds MR1MD1… [1] : “Interpretation of Mueller matrices based on polar decomposition” , S.-Y.

  10. Mueller polarimetric imaging Mueller polarimetric imager PSG : 4 probing polarization states Analysis through 4 different configurations of the PSA Probing polarization states Backscattered polarization states 16 measured intensities PSG (Polarization State Generator): linear polarizer, followed by retarders with changing characteristics over time (rotating waveplates, liquid crystal cells, etc...) PSA (Polarization State Analyzer): the same elements as PSG, but in the reverse order Mueller matrix image

  12. Mueller polarimetric imaging …on biological samplesex vivo Colon (500nm) Uterine cervix (500nm) 5cm 2cm Cancerous zone Pure Depolarizer (diagonal matrix) M22=M33>M44 Rayleigh Scattering Depolarization Retardance Dichroism (non-diagonal matrix)

  13. Mueller polarimetric imaging • Mueller polarimetric imaging : • is sensitive to the microscopic morphology of the tissue • is realized using simple optical elements in the visible range (450 – 700 nm) :different depths in the tissue can be reached using different wavelengths (due to different light absorption by hemoglobin for different wavelengths, hemoglobin being more absorbing for shorter wavelengths); • is well suited for «full field»(few cm²) modality (fundamental for in vivo applications) • can be easily implemented at low cost

  18. Application to cervical cancer Ex vivo proof of principle measurements Depolarization (550nm) Retardance (550nm) Conventional image CIN 3 2cm Healthy Glandular 1 90° 0° 0 • Healthy zones are characterized by a strong Retardance (~60°) and Depolarization (~1) • Abnormal zones are characterized by a very low Retardance (< 10°) • Different degrees of Depolarization enable to distinguish malignant lesions from benign transformations of the cervix A.

  19. Application to cervical cancer Ex vivo statistical evaluation Statistical evaluation of sensitivity and specificity of the technique using Retardance as a polarimetric diagnostic parameter to distinguish healthy tissue from severe dysplasia (CIN3) on 25 pieces of conizations Automatic reconstruction of the histological mapping Cut A Cut C Cut E 1 2 3 4 1 3 4 5 2 5 Cut B Cut D Histology is the gold standard for the diagnosis of pre-cancerous lesions

  20. Application to cervical cancer Ex vivo statistical evaluation Histological diagnosis Pre-sliced Polarimetric image

  21. Application to cervical cancer Ex vivo statistical evaluation • Uncertainty positioning cut (~1mm) : this introduces an error of 10 – 15% on sensitivity and specificity • We selected subzones between two adjacent lines labeled by the same histological diagnosis

  22. Application to cervical cancer Ex vivo statistical evaluation Comparison of polarimetric imaging with the gold-standard Conventional colposcopy : Sp<50% Less than 50% of healthy zones are properly identified Conventional colposcopy : Se~60-70% 60-70% of cancers detected

  23. Application to cervical cancer Ex vivo statistical evaluation • We fixed a threshold Rs for Retardance • We considered that : • pixels with R>Rshealthy tissue • pixels with R<Rsprecancerous stage • True positive TP are the pixels with R<Rs detected as abnormal zones by pathologists • We calculated Se et Sp by varying Rs

  25. Application to cervical cancer Microscopy and interpretation of the results CIN3 Healthy The comparison between Mueller polarimetric microscopy and SHG microscopy proved that the strong anisotropy observed in healthy cervix is due to the existence of a highly ordered layer in the connective tissue under the epithelium Strong Retardance of healthy tissues is the signature of collagen Modeling of anisotropic media in progress S.
