摘要:
Exemplary embodiments of apparatus, system and method can be provided to measure a flow of fluid within an anatomical structure. For example, it is possible to use at least one first probe arrangement structured to be insertable into a vessel and configured to direct at least one radiation to at least one portion of the anatomical structure. Further, it is possible to provide at least one second arrangement which configured to detect an interference between a first radiation provided from the fluid via the probe arrangement and second a second radiation provided from a reference path as a function of wavelength thereof. Further, at least one third arrangement can be provided which is configured to determine at least one characteristic of the fluid as a function of the interference.
摘要:
An exemplary apparatus for obtaining a tissue sample(s) within a luminal anatomical structure can be provided. For example, an imaging first arrangement can be configured to generate an image of a portion(s) of the luminal anatomical structure, and a second arrangement can be configured to extract the tissue sample(s) based on the image. A pill-shaped housing can at least partially enclose the first and second arrangements.
