APPARATUS, SYSTEMS, METHODS AND COMPUTER-ACCESSIBLE MEDIUM FOR IDENTIFICATION OF TRACHEA

摘要

Exemplary apparatus and method for determining information regarding at least one anatomical structure can be provided. For example, it is possible to forward at least one first optical electro-magnetic radiation to the at least one structure (e.g., using at least one first arrangement), and detect at least one second electro-magnetic radiation provided from the at least one structure which is based on first electro-magnetic radiation(s) (e.g., using and at least one second arrangement). It is also possible to determine at least one characteristic of the structure(s) inside thereof based on the second electro-magnetic radiation (e.g., using and at least one third arrangement). For example, the characteristic(s) can include an identification of the structure(s) upon a placement of an apparatus performing such procedure(s) at, within or near at least one airway portion of the structure(s).
