MICRO-MOLDED ANAMORPHIC REFLECTOR LENS FOR IMAGE GUIDED THERAPEUTIC/DIAGNOSTIC CATHETERS

Abstract:

A catheter system for optical coherence tomography includes an elongate catheter body, an optical fiber in the elongate catheter body, and an anamorphic lens assembly coupled with a distal end of the optical fiber. The optical fiber and the lens assembly are together configured to provide a common path for optical radiation reflected from a target and from a reference interface between the distal end of the optical fiber and the lens assembly.
