Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2012058441A2] Exemplary apparatus and method for determining information regarding at least one anatomical structure can be provided. For example, it is possible to forward at least one first optical electro-magnetic radiation to the at least one structure (e.g., using at least one first arrangement), and detect at least one second electro-magnetic radiation provided from the at least one structure which is based on first electro-magnetic radiation(s) (e.g., using and at least one second arrangement). It is also possible to determine at least one characteristic of the structure(s) inside thereof based on the second electro-magnetic radiation (e.g., using and at least one third arrangement). For example, the characteristic(s) can include an identification of the structure(s) upon a placement of an apparatus performing such procedure(s) at, within or near at least one airway portion of the structure(s).
