Prostate cancer is the most prevalent cancer among Canadian men and is often treated with radiation therapy. Historically, cancer has been studied using 2D cell culture methods, but recently 3D cell culture methods like tumor spheroids have been become popular to better replicate the physiological environment of the body. We developed ultrahigh resolution line-field OCT (LF-OCT) technology and a dynamic OCT (dOCT) method to image tumor spheroids and identify areas of necrosis, for comparison with computer simulation. The LF-OCT system has sufficient spatial resolution to identify individual cells and capture the cellular level of activity while the dOCT algorithm can resolve the dynamic activity accurately. The study will be extended to investigate the spatial and temporal development of necrosis in PC3 prostate tumor spheroids after irradiation. These results will be used to inform and extend the model to an in vivo environment.
