Development of a catadioptric endoscope objective with forward and side views
Abstract
Autofluorescence endoscopy is a promising functional imaging technique to improve screening of pre-cancerous or early cancer lesions in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Tissue autofluorescence signal is weak compared to white light reflectance imaging. Conventional forward-viewing endoscopes are inefficient in the collection of light from objects of interest along on the GI luminal wall. A key component of a complete autofluorescence endoscope …
