Abstract
Micro-optical coherence tomography (µOCT), is an emerging optical imaging approach enabling visualization of tissue microstructures at near cellular level. Small form-factor fiber-optic probes are needed to enable uOCT devices for minimally invasive diagnostic procedures such as coronary catheterization for atherosclerosis evaluation. Manufacturing complexities associated with miniaturizing current fiber-optic probes limit their optical and mechanical performance. We will present details of the design and construction of these miniaturized µOCT probes comprising TPL-based 3D printed optics, along with pre-clinical imaging results from an animal model. This probe is capable of lateral resolution of 5 µm and EDOF exceeding 850 µm in tissue.
