FALLOPOSCOPE AND METHOD FOR OVARIAN CANCER DETECTION |
摘要 |
A falloposcope is described, as is a method of screening a patient for fallopian tube and/or ovarian cancer with the Falloposcope. The falloposcope has an optical imaging subsystem capable of performing optical and fluorescence imaging, and an optical coherence tomography (OCT) channel, with a diameter of about 0.7 millimeter. The method includes inserting the falloposcope through a lumen of vagina, cervix, uterus, and fallopian tube such that a tip of the falloposcope is in proximity to a first fallopian tube or ovary of the patient; providing at least one fluorescence stimulus wavelength through an illumination fiber of the falloposcope, while imaging light at one or more fluorescence emission wavelengths through a coherent fiber bundle to form fluorescence emissions images; and determining suspect tissue from the fluorescence emission images. The OCT channel is also used to examine abnormalities in in-vivo female tissue, both to determine suspect tissue and analyze suspect abnormal tissue from fluorescence observations. |
