[19p-A302-20] Three dimensional imaging of biological tissues using short multimode fiber probe
Keywords:multimode fiber, imaging probe, in vivo 3D imaging
OCT (optical coherence tomography) has been applied to various clinical applications including ophthalmology, and the application thereof is expanding. Meanwhile, it is difficult to directly measure a part deeper than a few mm, whereas various needle type probes are studied. In consideration of minimally invasiveness to the organization, compactness, simplicity, reliability, versatility, we focused on multimode fiber with refractive index distribution for optical communication and examined its application to deep body tissue imaging I have done it. In this report, three-dimensional tomographic images of ex vivo chicken tendon tissues are reported with FF-OCM using SMMF with a diameter of 125 μm and a length of 7.33 mm.
