Fiber-optic needle probes: Applications in deep tissue imaging

摘要：

　　Fiber-optic needle probes are highly miniaturized imaging devices that enable imaging deep inside the body.Utilizing optical coherence tomography(OCT),these devices replace the standard scanning mechanism of an OCT scanner with all-fiber focusing optics small enough to be encased within a hypodermic needle.We describe recent innovation in the design of these probes,including novel fiber-optic configurations to achieve extended depth of focus,and the use of double-clad fiber to enable the first dual-modality fiber-optic needle probe,simultaneously acquiring both OCT and fluorescence images.
