Abstract
We present our next generation clinical dual-modality OCT and near infrared autofluorescence/fluorescence (NIRAF/NIRF) imaging platform. This platform allows combined tissue microstructure visualization (OCT) and obtaining molecular information either by intrinsic tissue near infrared autofluorescence (NIRAF) or by exogenous near infrared fluorescence contrast agents (NIRF). Components of this platform, OCT-NIRAF/NIRF imaging system, rotary junction and catheters, were developed using an industry standard design control processes to enable quality clinical translation. We have identified sources of image degradation in dual-modality catheter-based imaging (e.g. core-cladding crosstalk in OCT, background noise in fluorescence) and present methods to mitigate their effects. We also show catheter fabrication and validation, as well as automated fluorescence sensitivity and distance calibration methods that ensure robust and repeatable system performance.
