Abstract
An imaging system may include: a first light source configured to emit a first source spectrum of collimated light; a second light source configured to emit a second source spectrum of light; a probe head configured to direct the first source spectrum and the second source spectrum toward tissue in an oral cavity and to collect a first feedback spectrum of light and a second feedback spectrum of light; an interferometry sub-system to generate an optical feedback signal using the first source spectrum; at least one optical sensor array for receiving the optical feedback signal and the second feedback spectrum; and at least one programmable processor to generate: a first diagnostic image of the tissue using the optical feedback signal; a second diagnostic image of the tissue using the second feedback spectrum; and a third diagnostic image from a combination of the first diagnostic image and the second diagnostic image.
