Abstract

A pilot study on 20 normal-risk volunteers was performed to evaluate the safety and feasibility of the falloposcope, an experimental microendoscope for imaging the fallopian tubes (FTs) that contains optical coherence tomography (OCT) and multispectral fluorescence imaging (MFI). In vivo and ex vivo imaging of the fallopian tubes (FTs) was performed. No reportable events occurred and only non-significant FT disruption was noted on subsequent histology. Usable MFI data were obtained for approximately half of the participants, and OCT images were obtained for 12 participants. Future studies will evaluate the diagnostic potential of the falloposcope.
