Abstract

Provided herein are imaging systems for a patient comprising an imaging probe and an imaging assembly. The imaging probe comprises: an elongate shaft comprising a proximal end, a distal portion, and a lumen extending between the proximal end and the distal portion; a rotatable optical core comprising a proximal end and a distal end, wherein at least a portion of the rotatable optical core is positioned within the lumen of the elongate shaft; and an optical assembly positioned proximate the distal end of the rotatable optical core, the optical assembly configured to direct light to tissue and collect reflected light from the tissue. The imaging assembly is constructed and arranged to optically couple to the imaging probe. The imaging assembly is configured to emit light into the imaging probe and receive the reflected light collected by the optical assembly. The system is configured to provide treatment information, wherein the treatment information is used by an operator to plan a treatment and/or predict a treatment outcome.
