Abstract: Systems and methods for a tethered optical imaging probe configured to be integrated into an optical system for medical diagnosis are provided. In one configuration, the present disclosure provides a tethered optical imaging probe including a motor arranged within a swallowable capsule. A rotational speed of the motor is actively controlled by a feedback signal.

Abstract: According to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, apparatus and process for providing at least one radiation can be provided. For example, with at least one multi-mode waveguide, it is possible to transmit the radiation(s). In addition, with a shape sensing arrangement, it is possible To dynamically measure a shape of the multi-mode waveguide(s). Further, with a specifically programmed computer arrangement, it is possible to control a light modulator arrangement based on the dynamically-measured shape to cause the radiation(s) transmitted through the multi-mode waveguide(s) to have at least one pattern.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods of analyzing breast tumor samples, for example as a means to determine whether the tumor is cancerous or benign. For example, it is shown herein that analysis of a Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopic image allows for automated detection of breast cancer or benign breast tumors with high accuracy.
