Abstract:
A catheter system for optical coherence tomography includes an elongate catheter body, an optical fiber in the elongate catheter body, and an anamorphic lens assembly coupled with a distal end of the optical fiber. The optical fiber and the lens assembly are together configured to provide a common path for optical radiation reflected from a target and from a reference interface between the distal end of the optical fiber and the lens assembly.

Claim (Index 1):
A catheter system for optical coherence tomography (OCT), comprising:\n an elongate catheter body extending distally to proximally; an optical fiber in the elongate catheter body; and a lens assembly optically coupled with a distal end of the optical fiber, the lens assembly comprising a lens body having a first surface that is opposite from and at an angle relative to the distal end of the optical fiber and a second surface distal to the first surface, wherein the second surface is coated with a reflective material so that light passing from the distal end of the optical fiber, through the first surface, and into the lens body reflects off of the second surface and out of the lens body; wherein the optical fiber and the lens assembly are together configured to provide a common path for optical radiation reflected from a target and from a reference interface between the distal end of the optical fiber and the first surface.
