1. An Optical Coherence Tomography(OCT) and spectral interferometry probe for image scanning and parallel processing of information, comprising in combination:

  • a cylindrical probe for being inserted into a cavity;

    collimating means for forming parallel light;

    an optical imaging means having an optical fiber bundle array mounted within the probe for optically scanning an interior portion of a cavity with the parallel light which is reflected back in parallel from the interior portion of the cavity; and

    a spectrometer detector remotely attached to the probe for providing a spectral analysis image of the parallel reflected light from the optical scanning of the interior portion of the cavity.
