Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is an evolving noninvasive imaging modality that has been used to image the human larynx during surgical endoscopy. The design of a long gradient-index lens-based probe capable of capturing images of the human larynx by use of spectral domain OCT during a typical office-based laryngoscopy examination is presented. An optical-ballast-based 4f optical relay system is proposed to realize variable working distance with a constant optical delay. In-vivo OCT imaging of the human larynx is demonstrated. Office-based OCT is a promising imaging modality for early laryngeal cancer diagnosis.
光学相干断层扫描(OCT)是一种不断发展的非侵入性成像方式,已被用于在手术内窥镜检查期间对人体喉部进行成像。本文介绍了一种基于长梯度折射率透镜的探头设计,该探头能够在典型的门诊喉镜检查中利用光谱域OCT捕获人体喉部的图像。提出了一种基于光学镇流器的4f光学中继系统,以实现具有恒定光学延迟的可变工作距离。展示了人体喉部的体内OCT成像。门诊OCT是一种用于早期喉癌诊断的有前景的成像方式。
