Abstract

Histopathology based on formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded tissues has long been the gold standard for surgical margin assessment (SMA). However, routine pathological practice is lengthy and laborious, failing to guide surgeons intraoperatively. In this report, we propose a practical and low-cost histological imaging method with wide-field optical-sectioning microscopy (i.e., High-and-Low-frequency (HiLo) microscopy). HiLo can achieve rapid and non-destructive imaging of freshly-excised tissues at an extremely high acquisition speed of 5 cm2/min with a spatial resolution of 1.3 µm (lateral) and 5.8 µm (axial), showing great potential as an SMA tool that can provide immediate feedback to surgeons and pathologists for intraoperative decision-making. We demonstrate that HiLo enables rapid extraction of diagnostic features for different subtypes of human lung adenocarcinoma and hepatocellular carcinoma, producing surface images of rough specimens with large field-of-views and cellular features that are comparable to the clinical standard. Our results show promising clinical translations of HiLo microscopy to improve the current standard of care.
