Flexible endoscopic micro-optical coherence tomography for three-dimensional imaging of the arterial microstructure

Abstract Micro-optical coherence tomography (µOCT) is a novel imaging approach enabling visualization of the microstructures of biological tissues at a cellular or sub-cellular level. However, it has been challenging to develop a miniaturized flexible endoscopic µOCT probe allowing helical luminal s...
