Purpose: Recent artificial intelligence algorithms aided intraoperative decision-making via stimulated Raman histology (SRH) during craniotomy. This study assesses deep learning algorithms for rapid intraoperative diagnosis from SRH images in small stereotactic-guided brain biopsies. It defines a minimum tissue sample size threshold to ensure diagnostic accuracy.
Experimental Design: A prospective single-center study examined 121 SRH images from 84 patients with unclear intracranial lesions undergoing stereotactic brain biopsy. Unprocessed, label-free samples were imaged using a portable fiber laser Raman scattering microscope. Three deep learning models were tested to (i) identify tumorous/nontumorous tissue as qualitative biopsy control; (ii) subclassify into high-grade glioma (central nervous system World Health Organization grade 4), diffuse low-grade glioma (central nervous system World Health Organization grades 2-3), metastases, lymphoma, or gliosis; and (iii) molecularly subtype IDH and 1p/19q statuses of adult-type diffuse gliomas. Model predictions were evaluated against frozen section analysis and final neuropathologic diagnoses.
Results: The first model identified tumorous/nontumorous tissue with 91.7% accuracy. Sample size on slides impacted accuracy in brain tumor subclassification (81.6%, κ = 0.72 frozen section; 73.9%, κ = 0.61 second model), with SRH images being smaller than hematoxylin and eosin images (4.1 ± 2.5 mm2 vs. 16.7 ± 8.2 mm2, P < 0.001). SRH images with more than 140 high-quality patches and a mean squeezed sample of 5.26 mm2 yielded 89.5% accuracy in subclassification and 93.9% in molecular subtyping of adult-type diffuse gliomas.
Conclusions: Artificial intelligence-based SRH image analysis is non-inferior to frozen section analysis in detecting and subclassifying brain tumors during small stereotactic-guided biopsies once a critical squeezed sample size is reached. Beyond frozen section analysis, it enables valid molecular glioma subtyping, allowing faster treatment decisions in the future; however, refinement is needed for long-term application.

Introduction: Balancing surgical margins and functional outcomes is crucial during radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer. Stimulated Raman Histology (SRH) is a novel, real-time imaging technique that provides histologic images of fresh, unprocessed, and unstained tissue within minutes, which can be interpreted by either humans or artificial intelligence.
Methods: Twenty-two participants underwent robotic-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALP) with intraoperative SRH surgical bed assessment.

Background: Stimulated Raman histology (SRH) is a label-free optical imaging method for rapid intraoperative analysis of fresh tissue samples. Analysis of SRH images using Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) has shown promising results for predicting the main histopathological classes of neurooncological tumors. Due to the relatively low number of rare tumor representations in CNN training datasets, a valid prediction of rarer entities remains limited.

Frozen section biopsy, introduced in the early 1900s, still remains the gold standard methodology for rapid histologic evaluations. Although a valuable tool, it is labor-, time-, and cost-intensive. Other challenges include visual and diagnostic variability, which may complicate interpretation and potentially compromise the quality of clinical decisions.

Article Synopsis
- Accurate intraoperative diagnosis of primary CNS lymphoma (PCNSL) is vital for surgical decisions but is challenging due to similar features with other CNS diseases; a new method combines stimulated Raman histology (SRH) with deep learning to improve this process.
- The RapidLymphoma system uses a portable Raman microscope to create virtual images of tissue samples in under three minutes and employs a deep learning model trained on 54,000 images, allowing it to detect PCNSL and differentiate it from other conditions effectively.
- In testing, RapidLymphoma achieved a high accuracy rate of 97.81%, performing better than traditional methods, and demonstrated its capability to identify specific histological features crucial for diagnosis, providing quick feedback

Objectives: In voice production, interactions occur between the oscillating vocal folds, the respiratory system, and the vocal tract. However, it is not yet sufficiently understood how the respiratory system could affect the vocal tract configuration. It is hypothesized that a reduction in tracheal pull, caused by decreasing lung volume, along with shifts in dominant exhalation forces (from inspiratory to expiratory muscles), leads to a larynx elevation with shortening of the vocal tract tube, and consecutively, articulatory adjustments to preserve consistent sound quality.
