Dual-Mode Endoscope Combines Ultrasound and OCT to Offer Unprecedented Insights into Uterine Health
Researchers have developed a new endoscope that combines ultrasound with optical coherence tomography (OCT) to assess structural features of the endometrium in unprecedented detail. By providing detailed structural information about the endometrium, the probe could offer a less invasive way to determine if endometrial problems are causing infertility as well as help to diagnose other uterine health problems.
