IMAGING SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DIAGNOSTIC IMAGING
First Claim
1. An imaging system for using an optical device with an electronic device for diagnostic imaging, wherein the imaging system comprises:
- a controller configured tocapture a series of holograms by powering a light source of the optical device to illuminate an object, wherein light from the light source is collimated onto the object through an aperture of the optical device,extract an interference pattern of the object from the series of holograms, wherein the interference pattern is produced by interference between a reflected beam from the object and a reference beam formed by a diffraction mirror of the optical device, andrecord at least one image of the object based on the interference pattern; and
a non-transitory data storage configured to store the at least one image.

Abstract
An imaging system and method for using an optical device with an electronic device for diagnostic imaging is provided. The imaging system may include a controller configured to capture a series of holograms by powering a light source of the optical device to illuminate an object, wherein light from the light source is collimated onto the object through an aperture of the optical device. The controller may be configured to extract an interference pattern of the object from the series of holograms, wherein the interference pattern is produced by interference between a reflected beam from the object and a reference beam formed by a diffraction mirror of the optical device. The controller may be configured to record at least one image of the object based on the interference pattern. The imaging system may include a data storage configured to store the at least one image.
