Abstract:
An optical coherence tomographic image generation apparatus includes: a probe including a two-dimensional scanning mechanism therein reflecting a beam incident from one of sides of the probe while a position of the beam is shifted by time-division drive; an optical unit that detects an optical coherent light created by interference between the reference beam and scattered light returned by reflection from the measuring object irradiated through the probe with the measurement beam to generate an optical coherent tomographic image from the detection signal of the coherent light acquired in a time base in one of first or second operation modes. In the first operation mode, scanning is performed parallel on an optical irradiation plane at the measuring object in a first direction. In the second operation mode, scanning is performed parallel on the optical irradiation plane at the measuring object in a second direction orthogonal with the first direction.

Claim (Index 1):
An optical coherence tomographic image generation apparatus comprising:\n a probe including a grip part, a nozzle, and a two-dimensional scanning mechanism therein reflecting a light beam incident from one of sides of the grip part and the nozzle toward another side of the grip part and the nozzle while a position of the light beam is shifted by time-division drive; an optical unit that divides a light beam emitted from a light source into a measurement light beam and a reference light beam and detects an optical coherent light created by making interference between the reference light beam and scattered light returned by reflection from the measuring object which is irradiated through the probe with the measurement light beam, the optical coherence tomographic image generation apparatus generating an optical coherent tomographic image from the detection signal of the coherent light acquired in a time base; and a controller that switches between a first operation mode in which scanning is performed in parallel in a first direction on an optical irradiation plane at the measuring object and a second operation mode in which scanning is performed in parallel in a second direction on the optical irradiation plane at the measuring object, the second direction being orthogonal with the first direction.
