    摘要: In part, the invention relates to a single clad fiber to multi-clad optical fiber connector for use in applying excitation light to a sample and obtaining reflected light from the sample. The connector can include a dual clad optical fiber portion and a single clad optical fiber portion in optical communication with the dual clad optical fiber portion. In one embodiment, a core of the dual clad optical fiber portion and a core of the single clad optical fiber portion have substantially similar indices of refraction. In one embodiment, excitation light is propagated by the core of the dual clad optical fiber. Further, in one embodiment, light reflected by the sample is propagated by the first cladding layer of the dual clad optical fiber portion.

    摘要: A method for registering a two-dimensional image of a cardiocirculatory structure and a three-dimensional image of the cardiocirculatory structure includes acquiring a three-dimensional image including the cardiocirculatory structure using a first imaging modality. The acquired three-dimensional image is projected into two-dimensions to produce a two-dimensional projection image of the cardiocirculatory structure. A structure of interest is segmented either from the three-dimensional image prior to projection or from the projection image subsequent to projection. A two-dimensional image of the cardiocirculatory structure is acquired using a second imaging modality. The structure of interest is segmented from the acquired two-dimensional image. A first distance map is generated based on the two-dimensional projection image and a second distance map is generated based on the acquired two-dimensional image. A registration of the three-dimensional image and the two-dimensional image is performed by minimizing a difference between the first and second distance maps.

    摘要: A method for displaying real-time imagery of coronary arteries including a chronic total occlusion (CTO) includes acquiring three-dimensional image data of coronary arteries using a three-dimensional medical imaging device, wherein the three-dimensional image data includes imagery of the CTO. A radiocontrast agent is administered to a patient. Real-time image data of the coronary arteries are acquired using one or more fluoroscopes. The real-time image data does not include imagery of the CTO and down-stream vessel structure. The three-dimensional image data is co-registered with the real-time image data using an image processing device within a vicinity of the CTO. The co-registered image data are displayed in real-time using a display device to accurately illustrate the location of the CTO within the context of the real-time image data.

    摘要: A method for real-time cardiac visualization includes acquiring fluoroscope imagery from two planes. The location of at least one electrophysiology (EP) device is marked within the fluoroscope imagery from each of the two planes. The location information for the at least one EP device is combined within each of the acquired fluoroscope images from the two planes to determine a 3D location for the at least one EP device. The fluoroscope imagery from at least one of the two planes is displayed with a visual aid superimposed thereon. The visual aid is based on the 3D location of the EP device.

    摘要: A method of forming an image of a sample includes performing SOCT on a sample. The sample may include a contrast agent, which may include an absorbing agent and/or a scattering agent. A method of forming an image of tissue may include selecting a contrast agent, delivering the contrast agent to the tissue, acquiring SOCT data from the tissue, and converting the SOCT data into an image. The contributions to the SOCT data of an absorbing agent and a scattering agent in a sample may be quantified separately.
