Accurate margin assessment can help minimize residual tumor while avoiding unnecessary removal of healthy tissue.AimThis study uses label-free multiphoton microscopy to visualize collagen architecture and develops a feature-enhanced deep-learning model to distinguish CRC from margin-adjacent normal tissue.ApproachMargin-adjacent normal and carcinoma tissues were imaged using multiphoton microscopy, and 142 quantitative collagen features were extracted from SHG images. We propose PVT-Enhanced, a feature-fusion model that integrates handcrafted collagen features with deep image features derived from PVTv2-b5 through an attention-based fusion strategy. Its performance was compared with LASSO-LR, three convolutional neural networks, and image-only PVTv2-b5.ResultsSHG imaging showed relatively coherent fiber orientation, longer and more continuous collagen fibers, and higher fiber density in margin-adjacent normal tissue, whereas carcinoma tissue showed more disorganized orientation, shorter and more fragmented fibers, and lower fiber density. The PVT-Enhanced model achieved an accuracy of 86.9%, an AUC of 0.923, and a specificity of 96.4%. Only 5 of 137 margin-adjacent normal images were misclassified as CRC.ConclusionsOur findings suggest that the PVT-Enhanced framework combined with SHG imaging allows accurate, rapid, and label-free tissue characterization that may support intraoperative margin assessment in CRC surgery.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1117\/1.jbo.31.10.106501","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,9]],"date-time":"2026-10-09T16:14:32Z","timestamp":1791562472000},"page":"1-16","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Intraoperative margin assessment in colorectal cancer via AI-enhanced multiphoton microscopy"],"prefix":"10.1117","volume":"31","author":[{"given":"Qiaoyu","family":"Lai","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Jimei University, School of Science, Xiamen, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7888-4569","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Gangqin","family":"Xi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Jimei University, School of Science, Xiamen, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jiajia","family":"He","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Jimei University, School of Science, Xiamen, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8892-6013","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Guangxing","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Jimei University, School of Science, Xiamen, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6286-5080","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jun","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ningbo University of Technology, School of Electronic and Information Engineering, Ningbo, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5767-5197","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Shuangmu","family":"Zhuo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Jimei University, School of Science, Xiamen, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jian","family":"Sui","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Fujian Provincial Hospital, Fuzhou University Affiliated Provincial Hospital, Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery, Fuzhou, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"189","container-title":["Journal of Biomedical Optics"],"original-title":[],"link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.spiedigitallibrary.org\/journals\/journal-of-biomedical-optics\/volume-31\/issue-10\/106501\/Intraoperative-margin-assessment-in-colorectal-cancer-via-AI-enhanced-multiphoton\/10.1117\/1.JBO.31.10.106501.full","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,9]],"date-time":"2026-10-09T16:14:33Z","timestamp":1791562473000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.spiedigitallibrary.org\/journals\/journal-of-biomedical-optics\/volume-31\/issue-10\/106501\/Intraoperative-margin-assessment-in-colorectal-cancer-via-AI-enhanced-multiphoton\/10.1117\/1.JBO.31.10.106501.full"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,9]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"10","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,1]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1117\/1.jbo.31.10.106501","relation":{},"ISSN":["1083-3668","1560-2281"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1083-3668","type":"print"},{"value":"1560-2281","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,9]]}}}
