  • Patent number: 11307088
    Abstract: An optical tomography imaging system includes a signal generator, at least one light emitter, at least one light receiver, a signal processor, and an image processor. The signal generator is configured to generate a periodic signal and a reference signal. The light emitter is configured to be activated by the periodic signal to generate an optical signal passing through an object under test. The light receiver is configured to receive and convert the optical signal passing through the object under test into an electrical signal. The signal processor is configured to generate a comparison signal according to the electrical signal and the reference signal. The image processor is configured to acquire a plurality of disassembled sine waves from the comparison signal and generate a reconstructed image according to the disassembled sine waves.

  • Publication number: 20210127978
    Abstract: An optical tomography device includes a carrier base, at least one slide rail, at least one sliding assembly, and at least one optical channel member. The carrier base has a through hole. The slide rail is located on the carrier base and extends toward the through hole. The sliding assembly includes a sliding block, a guiding rod, and an elastic component. The sliding block is slidably connected to the slide rail and has a first restriction portion. The guiding rod is slidably connected to the sliding block and has a second restriction portion. The elastic component is configured to be deformed by the first restriction portion and the second restriction portion. The optical channel member is coupled with the guiding rod.

  • Patent number: 10042160
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an annular scanning device for optical tomography scanning and imaging system, which comprises a carrying base, a rotating member, a plurality of optical channel modules, and a driving module. The rotating member is disposed on the carrying base. The plurality of optical channel modules are disposed annularly on the rotating member and connected to the rotating member. When the driving module drives the rotating member to rotate, a plurality of optical channel assemblies of the plurality of optical channel modules move towards or away from the center of the rotating member for adjusting the distance between the plurality of optical channel assemblies and an object under test.
