Method, apparatus and computer accessible medium for providing signal and contrast enhancement(s) in optical imaging methods

Abstract

A system for facilitating imaging of an anatomical structure(s) can be provided, and can include, for example, a substance which can induce a change in the anatomical structure(s) when applied to the anatomical structure(s), and an imaging arrangement which can be configured to generate an image of the anatomical structure(s) based on the change of the anatomical structure(s) when the substance is applied. The imaging arrangement can include an apparatus which can be configured to (i) illuminate the anatomical structure(s) with a first electro-magnetic radiation(s), and (ii) receive a second electro-magnetic radiation from the anatomical structure(s) that can be based on the first electro-magnetic radiation. The change can affect a characteristic(s) of the second electro-magnetic radiation.
