The present invention relates to a rotating catheter tip for optical coherence tomography based on the use of an optical fiber that does not rotate, that is enclosed in a catheter, which has a tip rotates under the influence of a fluid drive system to redirect light from the fiber to a surrounding vessel and the light reflected or backscattered from the vessel back to the optical fiber.

La présente invention concerne une pointe de cathéter rotative destinée à une tomographie par cohérence optique et basée sur l'utilisation d'une fibre optique qui ne tourne pas, qui est intégrée dans un cathéter et qui présente une pointe tournant sous l'influence d'un système d'entraînement par fluide afin de rediriger de la lumière provenant de la fibre jusqu'à une enceinte périphérique et de retourner la lumière réfléchie ou rétrodiffusée provenant de l'enceinte jusqu'à la fibre optique.
