Abstract

Intraluminal epithelial abnormalities, potential precursors to significant conditions like cancer, necessitate early detection for improved prognosis. We present a motor-free telerobotic optical coherence tomography (OCT) endoscope that offers high-resolution intraluminal imaging and overcomes the limitations of traditional systems in navigating curved lumens. This system incorporates a compact magnetic rotor with a rotatable diametrically magnetized cylinder permanent magnet (RDPM) and a reflector, effectively mitigating thermal and electrical risks by utilizing an external magnetic field to maintain temperature increases below 0.5 °C and generated voltage under 0.02 mV. Additionally, a learning-based method corrects imaging distortions resulting from nonuniform rotational speeds. Demonstrating superior maneuverability, the device achieves steerable angles up to 110° and operates effectively in vivo, providing distortion-free 3D programmable imaging in mouse colons. This advancement represents a significant step towards guidewire-independent endomicroscopy, enhancing both safety and potential patient outcomes.
