Figure 4

Negative tumor margin. OCT (a) and corresponding H&E-stained histology (b) of normal breast tissue near the surface of a lumpectomy specimen. The large adipose cells with point-like scattering nuclei dominate the OCT image, which also contains a region of the microvasculature (arrows). Features found in the real-time intraoperative OCT image correspond well to those identified in the post-surgical paraffin-embedded histology section.
