Imaging apparatus

uspto.gov Feb 14 2006 Gastroenterology , Patents

An compact imaging apparatus having an OCT function is provided. An image formed of the illuminating-light reflected from a examination area is displayed on a monitor. A signal-light for obtaining an optical tomographic image is guided in a fiber through an insertion portion and projected onto a living tissue measurement area by an illuminating lens. The measurement area is scanned with the signal-light by a Piezo actuator moving the output face of the fiber. An OCT obtaining-portion obtains and displays on a monitor an optical tomographic image by using the interference caused by the signal-light reflected from the measurement area ...
