Abstract:
Disclosed are a collimator for reducing noise of a scanned image and an imaging catheter system comprising the same. The disclosed noise attenuation collimator comprises: a transparent tube having a diameter larger than a cladding diameter of double-clad fiber, wherein a coatingless region of the double-clad fiber is inserted into the transparent tube; and a first resin layer which is applied to an exterior of the transparent tube and has a refractive index lower than the refractive index of the transparent tube.

Claim (Index 1):
A noise-attenuating collimator using a double-clad fiber, the noise-attenuating collimator comprising:\n a transparent tube configured to receive a coatingless region of the double-clad fiber inserted therein, the transparent tube having a diameter larger than a diameter of a cladding of the double-clad fiber; and a first resin layer coated on an exterior of the transparent tube, the first resin layer having a refractive index lower than a refractive index of the transparent tube.
