20140117256 | APPRATUS FOR OPTICAL ANALYSIS OF AN ASSOCIATED TISSUE SAMPLE - In order to improve fluorescence measurements, there is provided an apparatus and, a method and a computer program for optical analysis of an associated tissue sample, the apparatus comprising a spectrometer comprising an optical detector, a light source, a first light emitter | 05-01-2014 |
20140121538 | NEEDLE WITH AN OPTICAL FIBER INTEGRATED IN AN ELONGATED INSERT - A needle is proposed including a cannula or hollow shaft with a multilumen insert inside. The insert comprises at least two lumen. Both the insert as well as the cannula have bevelled ends. In the insert substantially straight cleaved fibers are present that may be connected at the proximal end to a console. At least one of the distal fiber ends in the insert may protrude more than half the fiber diameter out of the insert. Furthermore, the bevel angle of the insert is different from the bevel angle of the cannula such that combination cannula and insert is such that the fiber ends do not protrude the bevel surface of the cannula. | 05-01-2014 |
20140142563 | ENERGY APPLICATION PLANNING APPARATUS - The invention relates to an energy application planning apparatus for planning an application of energy to an object ( | 05-22-2014 |
20140236024 | MEDICAL PROBE WITH MULTI-FIBER LUMEN - The present invention relates to a medical probe which consists of a cannula with a multilumen stylet inside. The multilumen contains at least two lumen. Both the multilumen as well as the cannula may have beveled ends. In the lumen straight optical fibers (i.e.no angle end face) are present that can be connected at the proximal end to a console. The cannula, multilumen, fiber system forming the medical probe comprises at least in one of the lumen of the multilumen more than one optical fiber. Preferably the source and detector fibers for the fluorescence detection are contained in one single lumen of the multilumen. | 08-21-2014 |

20150182206 | Biopsy Needle with Large Fiber Distance at the Tip - A biopsy device is provided having a shaft and a tubular member. The shaft may be movably accommodated within the tubular member and may have a longitudinal axis and a distal end with a bevel. At least two channels are formed within the shaft in a longitudinal direction of the shaft, each channel forming an opening in the bevel surface, wherein an optical fiber is accommodated within each of the channels. Furthermore, a recess for accommodating tissue to be extracted may be formed in the shaft adjacent the distal end of the shaft. The bevel is facing upwardly whereas the recess is facing sidewardly. | 07-02-2015 |
20150265256 | SYSTEM WITH PHOTONIC BIOPSY DEVICE FOR OBTAINING PATHOLOGICAL INFORMATION - A biopsy device is provided comprising a tubular member, a hollow shaft and an elongated fiber body. The hollow shaft may have a distal end and a shaft, wherein a laterally (sidewardly) facing notch is formed in the distal portion of the shaft. The elongated fiber body may include at least one optical fiber, preferably at least two optical fibers, with a distal end. The tubular member is movable relative to the shaft, between a first position in which the notch is covered by the tubular member, and a second position in which the notch is not covered by the tubular member. The fiber body is movable within the shaft, between a first position in which the distal end of the optical fiber is located at the distal end of the shaft with the elongated fiber body extending through the notch, and a second position in which the distal end of the at least one optical fiber is located proximally to the notch. | 09-24-2015 |
