Methods and systems for optical imaging or epithelial luminal organs by beam scanning thereof
First Claim
1. An apparatus for determining a position on or in a biological tissue, comprising:
- at least one computer arrangement which is configured to;
receive first data associated with at least one image of at least one portion of the biological tissue obtained using an optical imaging technique,based on the first data, cause a visible change on or in at least location of the at least one portion using at least one electro-magnetic radiation, andusing image second data for the visible change on or in the at least one location, automatically effectuate a removal or a destruction of at least part of the at least one portion.

Abstract
Arrangements, apparatus, systems and systems are provided for obtaining data for at least one portion within at least one luminal or hollow sample. The arrangement, system or apparatus can be (insertable via at least one of a mouth or a nose of a patient. For example, a first optical arrangement can be configured to transceive at least one electromagnetic (e.g., visible) radiation to and from the portion. A second arrangement may be provided at least partially enclosing the first arrangement. Further, a third arrangement can be configured to be actuated so as to position the first arrangement at a predetermined location within the luminal or hollow sample. The first arrangement may be configured to compensate for at least one aberration (e.g., astigmatism) caused by the second arrangement and/or the third arrangement. The second arrangement can include at least one portion which enables a guiding arrangement to be inserted there through. Another arrangement can be provided which is configured to measure a pressure within the at least one portion. The data may include a position and/or an orientation of the first arrangement with respect to the luminal or hollow sample.
