Paper Abstract
Because of its high spatial resolution and noninvasive imaging capabilities, optical coherence tomography has been used
to characterize the morphological details of various biological tissues including urinary bladder and to diagnose their
alternations (e.g., cancers). In addition to static morphology, the dynamic features of tissue morphology can provide
important information that can be used to diagnose the physiological and functional characteristics of biological tissues.
Here, we present the imaging studies based on optical coherence tomography to characterize motion related physiology
and functions of rat bladder detrusor muscles and compared the results with traditional biomechanical measurements.
Our results suggest that optical coherence tomography is capable of providing quantitative evaluation of contractile
functions of intact bladder (without removing bladder epithelium and connective tissue), which is potentially of more
clinical relevance for future clinical diagnosis - if incorporated with cystoscopic optical coherence tomography.
