Abstract

We present initial results of OCT images of human fallopian tubes obtained from miniature OCT catheters. Two OCT catheters were fabricated to image from the outside and inside of the fallopian tube. The OCT catheter used to image from outside has an outer diameter of 3.8 mm, a lateral resolution of ~10 um, and an axial resolution of 6 um. Special attention was paid to the fimbriated end. The smaller OCT catheter used to image inner mucosa layer has an outer diameter of 1.5 mm. 3D structures of the normal and malignant human fallopian tubes were revealed.
