Abstract

We present a preliminary investigation of macroscopic polarimetric imaging of uterine cervix. Orthogonal state contrast (OSC) images of healthy and anomalous cervices have been taken in vivo at 550 nm. Four ex vivo cervix samples have been studied in full Muller polarimetry, at 550 nm and 700 nm, and characterized in detail by standard pathology. One sample was totally healthy, another one carried CIN lesions at very early stage (CIN1) in its visible exocervical region, while for the other two samples more advanced (CIN3) lesions were present, together with visible glandular epithelium (ectropion). Significant birefringence has been observed in the healthy regions of all six samples, both in vivo and ex vivo. Standard treatments of the Mueller images of the ex vivo samples allowed to quantify both retardation and depolarization. Retardation reached 60° in healthy regions, and disappeared in the anomalous regions of the other three ex vivo samples. The depolarization power was largest in healthy regions, and lower in CINs and ectropion. Possible origins of the observed effects are briefly discussed.

Fig. 1

In vivo images of two cervices, one healthy (top) and one with a pathological region delineated by the dotted yellow line by an experienced practitioner. Left, in color: usual colposcopic images. Right, in grayscale: IOSC images (parts with larger IOSC appear brighter) The IOSC images were taken with III polarizations set at the azimuths indicated above the images.

Polarimetric images of a healthy cervix, taken at 550 nm, together with the positions of histological cuts (white lines), which confirmed that the sample was healthy.: the tissue inside this limit is denoted by MT Upper left: one of the 16 intensity images taken with the imaging polarimeter for the measurement of complete Mueller image The black solid line shows the limits of the cut, with malpighian tissue (MT) inside and stroma (C) outside. The dashed solid line delineates the regions for which at least one of the 16 raw images was saturated, making the polarimetric data inaccurate. Upper right: image of depolarization Δ. Lower left image of scalar retardation R, in degrees. Lower right: orientation of the birefringence slow axis (in degrees counterclockwise from the vertical).

Analogous to Figs. 2 and 3, for a conization specimen exhibiting healthy tissue, CIN3 in its central part (above the endocervix) and bare glandular tissue in the lower right part. For this sample no local saturation of the CCD was observed due to specular reflections.

Left: colposcopic images of the fourth sample, prior to surgery, with acetic acid (a) and iodine (b). Right: Histological characterization of the conization specimen in 8 planes, reported on one intensity image taken with the polarimeter. The cuts AB and CD are shown at the bottom of the right panel. For the latter, the “buried” glandular tissue is clearly visible beneath the superficial CIN3.
