Claims12
A method of imaging a sample using a rotary imaging system, the method comprising:
- generating a rotational position signal based on a sensor coupled to a fiber optic rotating joint (FORJ);
- acquiring image data based on the FORJ;
- and
- synchronizing acquisition of the image data based on the rotational position signal,
- wherein the rotational position signal is based on a known position of the FORJ such that acquisition of the image data is synchronized to the known position of the FORJ,
- wherein the image data comprises a plurality of frames, the method further comprising generating a plurality of rotational position signals, each rotational position signal corresponding to one frame of the plurality of frames, and synchronizing acquisition of each frame to the corresponding rotational position signal.

A method of imaging a sample using a rotary imaging system, the method comprising:
- acquiring a plurality of image frames;
- generating a plurality of rotational position signals based on a sensor coupled to a fiber optic rotating joint (FORJ), each rotational position signal corresponding to an image frame within the plurality of image frames;
- and
- synchronizing acquisition of each image frame to the corresponding rotational position signal,
- wherein each rotational position signal is generated based on a known position of the FORJ such that acquisition of each image frame is synchronized to the known position of the FORJ,
- wherein synchronizing acquisition comprises synchronizing acquisition of a first one of the plurality of image frames with a first one of the rotational position signals and synchronizing acquisition of a second one of the plurality of image frames with a second one of the rotational position signals.
