SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR NON-ENDOSCOPIC OPTICAL BIOPSY DETECTION OF DISEASED TISSUE
摘要
<p>A catheter has an elongated catheter shaft adapted for introduction into a body passageway of a patient. At least one optical fiber extends through the catheter shaft. The optical fiber has a distal end positioned at or near a distal end of the catheter for illuminating tissue and receiving light energy from tissue at the location of the distal end of the tip. A distal region of the catheter includes a deformed portion having a crest offset from a longitudinal axis of the catheter shaft. A distal tip of the optical fiber is positioned at the crest to increases the likelihood of the distal tip contacting tissue of a wall of the body passageway.</p>
