Description
本出願は、2001年4月30日に出願され、本出願の譲受人に共に譲渡された仮出願第60/287,477号に対する優先権を主張する。先の出願の内容は、本明細書に包括的に組み込まれている。
ΔL=ΔLS−ΔLR
として計算され、このときΔLSは、生体組織表面までのサンプリングアームの距離、ΔLRは、参照アームの光経路である。
図9は、本発明の一実施形態によるアルゴリズムの流れ図を示す。比較的大きな走査範囲(ブロック14)(例えば、約3〜10mmであるが、他の範囲を適切なものとして用いてもよい)で、ブロック12において生体組織表面「S」を十分に見つけるために、ブロック10において最初の走査線が調べられる。表面を見つけるために、少なくとも3つの方法の一つを用いることができる。第1の方法は、アダプティブ閾値(「T」)を用いることである。第2の方法は、1次の導関数dI(z)/dz=D1を用いる。第3の方法は、ゼロを横切る2次の導関数d2I(z)/dz2=D2を用いる。
(1)I(xn,z)=Iacq(xn,z−Sn)
(2)I(xn,z)=Iacq(xn,z−Sn−1)
(3)I(xn,z)=Iacq(xn,z−Sn+1)
ここで、nは、特定の軸線走査を示し、このとき、nはマッピングが行われている所に近接している。
他の実施形態において、本発明は、オートフォーカス・モードで用いることができる。図14は、オートフォーカス・アルゴリズムのための流れ図を示している。
図15は、共焦点顕微鏡検査解析の間の共焦点パラメータ調整に関するアルゴリズムを示す。共焦点パラメータは、R、最適走査ゲート範囲に最適化されている。ブロック210において最初の走査線が調べられた後、(上述したように)最適の格子範囲Rが決定される(ブロック212)。最適の共焦点パラメータ2zRは、ブロック214において算出される。次に、カテーテル共焦点パラメータがブロック216において大体2ze(R+ε)に対して調整変更される。ブロック218において撮像が終了していないならば、次の走査線220に進む。もし走査が終了であれば、ブロック222で終了する。2zR=(2πω0 2)/λである。ここで、ω0はビーム半径、λは波長、2zRは共焦点パラメータである。
図16は、本発明の一実施形態による装置を概略的に示している。この装置の基本的な記述ならびに一連の図面は、オザワらによる米国特許第6,069,698号明細書に見られ、その開示内容は、本明細書に包括系に組み込まれている。図16の関連する部材の基本的な記載は、オザワらによる図1に対応する。
