Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2020/239974
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an intravascular device (10). The device comprises an elongate member (20), an optical fiber (30), and at least one optical interaction element (40). At least a part of the elongate member is configured to be inserted into a part of a vascular system of a patient. At least a part of the optical fiber is located within the elongate member. The optical fiber is configured to transmit optical wavelength radiation. The intravascular device is configured to emit optical wavelength radiation out of the elongate member in at least two optical radiation beams for being scattered and/or reflected by a portion of the vascular system. The emission of the at least two optical radiation beams comprises interaction of the transmitted optical wavelength radiation with the at least one optical interaction element. The intravascular device is configured to collect at least some of the scattered and/or reflected optical wavelength radiation and couple the at least some of the scattered and/or reflected optical wavelength radiation into the optical fiber comprising utilization of the at least one optical interaction element.
