We have previously demonstrated multimodal optical coherence tomography and autofluorescence imaging (OCT-AFI) in the distal airways of the lung. To combine the two modalities into a single-fiber endoscope, we use double-clad fibers, which causes additional blurred OCT images from the fibers' higher-order modes. Recently, we established multipath contrast imaging (MCI) which leverages these higher-order images to elucidate angular backscattering of tissue. MCI can be generated retroactively; we seek to re-evaluate images from our in vivo OCT-AFI lung cancer study. Early MCI results demonstrate high contrast in healthy tissue compared to blood, and for a histologically confirmed adenocarcinoma.
