Systems, devices, methods, apparatus and computer-accessible media for providing optical imaging of structures and compositions
First Claim
1. An arrangement for providing at least one electro-magnetic radiation to an anatomical structure, comprising:
- at least one optical core and at least one cladding at least partially surrounding the at least one core with a region therebetween, wherein the region has an index that is different from indices of the at least one optical core and the at least one cladding;
at least one optical apparatus which includes a lens configuration that is configured to direct the at least one radiation via at least one of the at least one optical core or the at least one cladding to the anatomical structure; and
at least one optical system which is configured to receive, through the lens configuration, at least two radiations from the anatomical structure via at least one of the at least one optical core or the at least one cladding.

Abstract
Exemplary systems, devices, methods, apparatus and computer-accessible media for providing and/or utilizing optical frequency domain imaging (OFDI) and fluorescence of structures and, e.g., multimodality imaging using OFDI techniques and fluorescence imaging techniques are described. For example, an arrangement can provide at least one electro-magnetic radiation to an anatomical structure. Such exemplary arrangement can include at least one optical core and at least one cladding at least partially surrounding the fiber(s). A region between the optical core(s) and the cladding(s) can have an index that is different from indexes of the optical core(s) and the cladding(s). The arrangement can also include at least one apparatus which is configured to transmit the radiation(s) via the optical core(s) and the cladding(s) to the anatomical structure.

13. An arrangement for providing at least two electro-magnetic radiations to an anatomical structure, comprising:
-
at least one optical core and at least one cladding at least partially surrounding the at least one optical core, at least one optical apparatus that includes a lens configuration which is configured to (i) direct at least one of the radiations via the at least one optical core, and (ii) direct at least another one of the radiations via the at least one cladding to the anatomical structure; and at least one optical system configured to, through the lens configuration, (i) receive and obtain a first radiation from the anatomical structure via the at least one core, and (ii) receive and obtain a second radiation from the anatomical structure via the at least one cladding. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)
