Previous methods for OCT-based detection of glioma-infiltrated brain tissue rely on estimating the tissue optical attenuation coefficient from the OCT signal, which requires sacrificing spatial resolution to increase signal quality, and performing systematic calibration procedures using tissue phantoms. By overcoming these major challenges, our AI-assisted method will enable implementing practical OCT-guided surgical tools for continuous, real-time, and accurate intraoperative detection of glioma-infiltrated brain tissue, facilitating maximal glioma resection and superior surgical outcomes for patients with glioma.
