Abstract
Disclosed herein are medical systems and devices that include an elongate probe configured for insertion into a patient, where a multi-core optical fiber extends along the elongate probe. The optical fiber can include sensing core fibers that extend distally along the probe. The optical fiber can further include illumining core fibers to facilitate projection of light away from the distal end in various illumination patterns. The system includes a console having processors and logic stored in memory. The logic can facilitate singly projecting the illumination light in the various patterns. The logic can also extract an image from returning light and compare wavelengths between the illuminating light and the returning light to determine a motion of body elements.
