- This paper presents our first clinical application of a novel optical coherence elastography developed by our group to assess tissue stiffness to characterise cancers in biopsies of men suspected with prostate cancer. We demonstrated a quantitative way of estimating cancer in core biopsies using OCE and showed that technique can reliably characterise grade of cancer. This article was feature of the week (01/25/15) in OCT news in the USA. This research has set the foundation for OCE applications, with currently further trials on animal/human skin, wound healing process, and drug monitoring, with further funding and PhD studentships.
