Abstract

Altered mechanical properties of tissue have emerged as both the cause and the consequence of tumorigenesis. Therefore, mapping the viscoelastic properties of tissue microenvironment provides crucial insights into micro-mechanical drivers of carcinogenesis. Here, we introduce laser Speckle rHEologicAl micRoscopy (SHEAR) that capture the time series of speckle patterns formed by multiple scattering of coherent light from tissue. We demonstrate that SHEAR rapidly maps the complex shear modulus, G*(x,y,ω), with 10’s µm resolution over multiple cm2, covering tumor epithelium, invasive front, and stroma. We further establish that G*(x,y,ω) maps yield micro-mechanical heterogeneity indices that closely correspond with tumor histopathology and prognosis.
