Endoscopic treatment of lower airway pathologies requires accurate quantification of airway
dimensions. We demonstrate the application of a real-time endoscopic optical coherence …

The upper airway is a complex tissue structure that is prone to collapse. Current methods for
studying airway obstruction are inadequate in safety, cost, or availability, such as CT or MRI …

Minimally invasive imaging of upper airway obstructions in children and adults is needed to
improve clinical decision-making. Toward this goal, we demonstrate an anatomical optical …

Endoscopic imaging using optical coherence tomography (OCT) has been demonstrated as
clinically useful in the assessment of human airways. These airways have a complex 3D …

Anatomical optical coherence tomography (aOCT) is a long-range endoscopic imaging
modality capable of quantifying size and shape of the human airway. A challenge to its in …

Obstruction in the upper airway can often cause reductions in breathing or gas exchange
efficiency and lead to rest disorders such as sleep apnea. Imaging diagnosis of the …

We describe a long-range optical coherence tomography system for size and shape
measurement of large hollow organs in the human body. The system employs a frequency …

In this paper, we report on anatomical optical coherence tomography, a catheter-based
optical modality designed to provide quantitative sectional images of internal hollow organ …

Flexible bronchoscopy is a common procedure that is used in both diagnostic and
therapeutic settings but does not readily permit measurement of central airway dimensions …

Remodeling of tissue, such as airway smooth muscle (ASM) and extracellular matrix, is
considered a key feature of airways disease. No clinically accepted diagnostic method is …
