Filed:

Jan 18, 2013
Appl. No.:

13/744935
Inventors:

The General Hospital Corporation - Boston MA, US
Gregory Dierksen - Brighton MA, US
Brett Eugene Bouma - Quincy MA, US
Guillermo J. Tearney - Cambridge MA, US
Assignee:

The General Hospital Corporation - Boston MA
International Classification:

A61B 1/00
A61B 18/18
US Classification:

600116, 606 33
Abstract:

Exemplary apparatus and method can be provided for obtaining data for at least one portion within at least one luminal or hollow sample. It is possible, e.g., using a first optical arrangement, to transceive at least one electromagnetic radiation to and from the portion(s). Further, it is possible, e.g., to actuate an expandable second basket arrangement so as to position the first arrangement at a predetermined location within the luminal or hollow sample(s). The second arrangement can have at least one prong or strip that has a flat shape on at least one side thereof.

Abstract:

Exemplary apparatus and method can be provided for obtaining data regarding a plurality of samples. For example, using at least one arrangement, it is possible to receive interferometric information that is based on radiations provided from a reference and the samples that are provided in respective chambers. Alternatively and/or in addition, based on the interferometric information, it is possible to discriminate between agents to identify a particular agent that affects a particular function within at least one of the samples.
