Abstract: An exemplary catheter can be provided, which can include, for example a source fiber(s) configured to (i) receive a near infrared spectroscopic (NIRS) radiation, and (ii) provide the NIRS radiation to a portion(s) of a sample(s), a detection fiber(s) configured to receive a return radiation from the sample(s) that can be based on the NIRS radiation that was provided to the portion(s) of the sample(s), and an ablation electrode(s) configured to ablate the sample(s) based on the return radiation. The source fiber(s), the detection fiber(s), and the ablation electrode(s) can be integrated into the single sheath. The ablation electrode(s) can be a radiofrequency ablation electrode.

Abstract: An exemplary system, method and computer-accessible medium for determining particular for a portion(s) of an organ of a patient(s) can be provided, which can include, for example, receiving an in vivo optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging information for the portion(s), and determining (i) a lesion formation on or in the portion(s), (ii) a contact of a catheter on or with the portion(s), or (iii) an angle of the catheter with respect to the portion(s), by applying a convolutional neural network(s) to the in vivo OCT imaging information.

Abstract: Exemplary system, method and computer-accessible medium tor determining a characteristic(s) of a tissue(s), can be provided which can include, for example, ablating the tissue(s), illuminating the tissue(s) during the ablation procedure; and continuously determining the characteristic(s) based on the ablation and illumination procedures. The tissue(s) can be ablated using radiofrequency ablation. The illumination procedure can be performed with a radiation in a visible spectrum.
