Abstract No. 187 Tubal Catheterization with a Miniature Triple-Modality Optical Falloposcope: A Future Interventional Radiology Procedure?

The miniaturization of optical endoscopes has enabled high-resolution imaging in small caliber, difficult to access organs. We developed a sub-mm triple-modality microendoscopy system, the falloposcope, to access and enable earlier detection of ovarian cancer in the fallopian tubes. We assessed the feasibility of clinical translation, iterative modifications to the design and interventional approach, and the role of the interventional radiologist in future implementation.
