In this paper, we introduce an innovative \u2728 wearable neuro optical coherence tomography (neuroOCT) \u2728 system, featuring a lightweight hydraulic 5-DoF skullbot combined with a neuroendoscope approximately 0.6 mm in diameter."},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p>This system facilitates targeted, minimally invasive neuroimaging with an axial resolution of about 2.4 \u03bcm and a transverse resolution of around 4.5 \u03bcm in the deep brain in vivo. The skullbot enables precise deployment of the neuroendoscope with a targeting accuracy of \u00b11.5 mm transversely and \u00b10.25 mm longitudinally, confirmed through optical phantom studies. The skullbot can be securely attached to the head, allowing for motion-insensitive stereotactic imaging within the brain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We validated the system&#8217;s capabilities by demonstrating targeted imaging of a tumor in a brain phantom and conducting in vivo micro-resolution volumetric neuroimaging of fine structures within a mouse brain. This advanced device offers in situ disease evaluation at a micro- resolution level and serves as a promising intraoperative imaging tool, complementing existing4 clinical whole-brain imaging modalities such as MRI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our findings suggest that the neuroOCT system can significantly advance minimally invasive high-resolution targeted neuroendoscopy, thereby improving patient safety during neurosurgical procedures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The paper will be available at https:\/\/lnkd.in\/gFREQFbS<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stay tuned!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a collabrative work between CUHK ABI Lab (https:\/\/lnkd.in\/gUuzQqDt) and REN Lab (http:\/\/www.labren.org\/mm\/).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Congrates to authors: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/103371608\/admin\/page-posts\/published\/#\">Chao Xu<\/a>+, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/103371608\/admin\/page-posts\/published\/#\">Zhiwei Fang<\/a>+, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/103371608\/admin\/page-posts\/published\/#\">Huxin Gao<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/103371608\/admin\/page-posts\/published\/#\">Tinghua Zhang<\/a>, Tao Zhang, Peng Liu, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/103371608\/admin\/page-posts\/published\/#\">Hongliang Ren<\/a>*, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/103371608\/admin\/page-posts\/published\/#\">Wu &#8216;Scott&#8217; YUAN<\/a>*<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/media.licdn.com\/dms\/image\/v2\/D5622AQEVU7mQWQ9n-w\/feedshare-shrink_800\/feedshare-shrink_800\/0\/1726554938251?e=1756944000&amp;v=beta&amp;t=pXWX031inNAT4z4ub5liEAKv0J4r9XFtOEcPoF4kILA\" alt=\"No alternative text description for this image\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/media.licdn.com\/dms\/image\/v2\/D5622AQF0Sjg4ESCUPQ\/feedshare-shrink_800\/feedshare-shrink_800\/0\/1726554938303?e=1756944000&amp;v=beta&amp;t=cgNZ-PgnciOGoG6cjx4dxqPgvy7iZsHdDG_Yt2QWi6w\" alt=\"No alternative text description for this image\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/media.licdn.com\/dms\/image\/v2\/D5622AQEumaq4eWeAAA\/feedshare-shrink_800\/feedshare-shrink_800\/0\/1726554938529?e=1756944000&amp;v=beta&amp;t=qjFVEzsesM0ppCgRPQnCkUEoVvIZ8E5k-q1x2dkOG40\" alt=\"No alternative text description for this image\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This system facilitates targeted, minimally invasive neuroimaging with an axial resolution of about 2.4 \u03bcm and a transverse resolution of around 4.5 \u03bcm in the deep brain in vivo.
