Remote optical imaging of human tissue in vivo has been the foundation for the growth of minimally invasive medicine. This article describes a new type of endoscopic imaging that has been developed and applied to the human esophagus, pig bile duct, and mouse colon. The technology is based on a single optical fiber that is scanned at the distal tip of an ultrathin and flexible shaft that projects red, green, and blue laser light onto tissue in a spiral pattern. The resulting images are high-quality color video that is expected to produce future endoscopes that are thinner, longer, more flexible, and able to directly integrate the many recent advances of laser diagnostics and therapies.
人体组织的远程活体光学成像一直是微创医学发展的基础。本文描述了一种新型的内镜成像技术，该技术已被开发并应用于人体食管、猪胆管和小鼠结肠。这项技术基于一根单光纤，该光纤在超薄柔性轴的远端进行扫描，以螺旋模式将红色、绿色和蓝色激光投射到组织上。所得到的图像是高质量的彩色视频，有望制造出更细、更长、更灵活且能够直接整合激光诊断和治疗方面诸多最新进展的未来内镜。
