Figure Lengend Snippet: Brightfield, fluorescence, and svOCT imaging of a well vascularized tumor. ( A) Brightfield image of window chamber with white dotted line indicating the field of view of the svOCT image. ( B) Corresponding DsRed fluorescence image to indicate tumor cell viability. ( C) svOCT average intensity projection with tumor boundary delineated by the blue line. ( D) Segmented depth encoded vasculature within blue tumor boundary line.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Healthy vs. tumor tissue quantification by svOCT and DCE-MRI. Significant differences in the microvasculature and corresponding DCE-MRI concentration–time curves were observed when comparing healthy and tumor tissue.
