Abstract
An endoscope comprises an elongate shaft extending along an axis from a proximal end portion to a distal end portion, a video imaging device located in the distal end portion, the video imaging device including a field of view, and an optical imaging systems, e.g., an optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging system, configured to emit light outside of the field of view. A method of imaging anatomy using an endoscope comprises inserting the endoscope into anatomy of a patient, the endoscope comprising an elongate body with a central axis, obtaining imaging with a video imaging device that includes a field of view, emitting light from a distal end portion of the endoscope outside of the field of view, obtaining reflected light from the emitted light in the multiple radial directions, and generating optical images, e.g., optical coherence tomography imaging, of the anatomy from the reflected light.
