Abstract: Un cathéter (20) pour diagnostiquer et réaliser une procédure interventionnelle sur un tissu comprend un manche de cathéter allongé et des fibres optiques (20, 26). Les fibres optiques, qui traversent de part en part le manche du cathéter, servent à acheminer la lumière jusqu'au tissu situé à une extrémité distale du cathéter et à réacheminer ladite lumière vers un système de diagnostic spectroscopique (42) qui effectue une analyse pour déterminer si une intervention doit être réalisée sur le tissu. Un instrument d'intervention (52) placé sur l'extrémité distale du cathéter est utilisé pour pénétrer un tissu sur lequel on pratique une intervention à la suite d'un diagnostic réalisé avec le système de diagnostic spectroscopique. Un appareil d'imagerie et de réalisation d'une procédure interventionnelle sur un tissu est constitué de l'assemblage d'un endoscope et d'un cathéter insérable dans l'endoscope et équipé d'un dispositif d'imagerie ultrasonique, lequel dispositif présente en image une structure tissulaire située à une extrémité distale de l'endoscope et permet de visualiser la profondeur de pénétration dans ladite structure tissulaire. L'appareil comprend aussi un instrument d'intervention insérable dans l'endoscope et utilisable pour pénétrer la structure tissulaire présentée en image par le dispositif d'imagerie ultrasonique.

Abstract: The invention relates to a photocatalytic glass pane
including (a) a glass substrate (1) having major surfaces that
are substantially parallel with and opposed to each other and
an edge surface that connects the major surfaces together;
(b) a photocatalytic film (3) formed on at least one of the major
surfaces of the glass substrate; and (c) a light source (5) for exciting
the photocatalytic film (3). A light from the light source (5) enters
the glass substrate from its edge surface (4) and then is reflected
totally within the glass pane. Another photocatalytic glass
pane of the invention is substantially the same as the above,
except that the light enters the glass substrate from its
peripheral surface (4). It is optional to form a prism on the
peripheral surface. Alternatively, the peripheral surface may
be inclined such that the glass substrate is tapered at a position
of the peripheral surface. With this, the light is totally
reflected within the another glass pane, too. Thus, the
photocatalytic glass panes of the invention are capable of
substantially preventing light rays from escaping from the
major surfaces thereof. With this, the photocatalytic film (3) can
effectively be excited or activated to oxidatively decompose
organic contaminants thereon.
