Purpose: Surgical resection with complete tumor excision (R0) provides the best chance of long-term survival for patients with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (iCCA). A non-invasive imaging technology, which could provide quick intraoperative assessment of resection margins, as an adjunct to histological examination, is optical coherence tomography (OCT). In this study, we investigated the ability of OCT combined with convolutional neural networks (CNN), to differentiate iCCA from normal liver parenchyma ex vivo. Methods: Consecutive adult patients undergoing elective liver resections for iCCA between June 2020 and April 2021 (n = 11) were included in this study. Areas of interest from resection specimens were scanned ex vivo, before formalin fixation, using a table-top OCT device at 1310 nm wavelength. Scanned areas were marked and histologically examined, providing a diagnosis for each scan. An Xception CNN was trained, validated, and tested in matching OCT scans to their corresponding histological diagnoses, through a 5 × 5 stratified cross-validation process. Results: Twenty-four three-dimensional scans (corresponding to approx. 85,603 individual) from ten patients were included in the analysis. In 5 × 5 cross-validation, the model achieved a mean F1-score, sensitivity, and specificity of 0.94, 0.94, and 0.93, respectively. Conclusion: Optical coherence tomography combined with CNN can differentiate iCCA from liver parenchyma ex vivo. Further studies are necessary to expand on these results and lead to innovative in vivo OCT applications, such as intraoperative or endoscopic scanning.
