Abstract
In some aspects, the present disclosure provides methods for identifying a disease in an epithelial tissue of a subject. Methods for identifying a disease in an epithelial tissue comprise the generation of a depth profile of the epithelial tissue using signals generated from the tissue by pulses of light directed towards a surface of the epithelial tissue. In some aspects, the present disclosure provides apparatuses consistent with the methods herein.
Claims21
1-81. (canceled)
An apparatus for generating a depth profile of an epithelial tissue of a subject, comprising:
- an optical probe configured to transmit pulses of a single beam of light from a light source towards a surface of the epithelial tissue;
- an afocal lens arrangement comprising a mobile lens that is in optical communication with the optical probe, wherein the mobile lens is configured to yield a plurality of different focal planes with respect to the epithelial tissue;
- and
- one or more computer processors that are individually or collectively programmed to process one or more signals to generate the depth profile of the epithelial tissue.
