Abstract: One or more devices, systems, methods, and storage mediums for imaging and for minimally invasive medical devices, such as, but not limited to, for intravascular ultrasound (IVUS), spectrally encoded endoscopy (SEE), and/or Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT), are provided herein. One or more embodiments may involve imaging reconstruction using a real-time signal of a rotary position from a near distal end encoder. One or more devices, systems, methods and storage mediums may include, in one or more embodiments, a rotary encoder or sensor to detect an angular position of a rotary shaft or a drive cable, for example, to reduce imaging Non-Uniform Rotational Distortion. Examples of such applications include imaging, evaluating and diagnosing biological objects, such as, but not limited to, for Gastro-intestinal, cardio and/or ophthalmic applications, and being obtained via one or more optical instruments.

Abstract: One or more devices, systems, methods, and storage mediums for imaging and more particularly to minimally invasive medical devices, such as, but not limited to, spectrally encoded endoscopy (SEE), endoscopy, and/or other catheter-related apparatuses and systems, methods, and storage mediums for use with same, are provided herein. One or more devices, systems, methods and storage mediums may be for characterizing, examining and/or diagnosing, and/or measuring viscosity of, a sample or object in application(s) using an apparatus or system that includes, in one or more embodiments, an in-situ optics observation window or lens cleaning apparatus or system that provides a technique(s) for cleaning the medical device optic(s) without removing the medical device during a surgical procedure.
