Title: Innovations in Endoscopic Imaging by Jiefeng Xi
Introduction
Jiefeng Xi is an accomplished inventor based in Baltimore, MD (US). He has made significant contributions to the field of medical imaging, particularly through his innovative work on endoscopic technologies. His research focuses on enhancing imaging techniques to improve diagnostic capabilities in various medical applications.
Latest Patents
Jiefeng Xi holds a patent for a device and methods for color corrected OCT imaging endoscope/catheter to achieve high-resolution imaging. The present invention is directed to an achromatic endoscope that employs a diffractive microlens. Along with a broadband rotary joint and a custom 800 nm SD-OCT system, ultrahigh-resolution 3D volumetric imaging over a large area becomes possible. The diffractive microlens can be used directly with a GRIN lens, simplifying the endoscope design and making it more cost-effective. Preliminary ex vivo 3D intraluminal imaging was performed with the endoscope in conjunction with a home-built broadband rotary joint and a spectral-domain OCT system, demonstrating the performance of the diffractive endoscope. This innovative approach is expected to have a broad impact on endoscopic OCT imaging by improving OCT resolution in applications involving miniature OCT probes, such as intravascular imaging, gastrointestinal tract imaging, and airway imaging.
