Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for the fabric using an acquisition system that includes at acquisition of in-vivo fluorescence imaging from a least one optical fibre exciting the fabric by scanning light beam. According to the invention, the system is used to detect fluorescence signals emitted by the Methylene Blue present in the fabric.
Abstract:
A method for observing a mucosa of a biliary or pancreatic system in a subject includes positioning a optical probe in contact with said mucosa, wherein the optical probe accesses the biliary or pancreatic system using a working channel of an endoscope inserted orally in the subject. An optical probe to be used with a fiber optic microscope for in vivo observation includes an optical fiber bundle, a miniaturized objective connected coaxially at a distal tip of the optical fiber bundle, wherein the optical fiber bundle and the miniaturized objective each have a diameter of less than 1.2 mm such that said optical probe can access a biliary or pancreatic system using a working channel of an endoscope inserted orally.
