The invention belongs to the technical field of
medical instruments, and discloses an imaging
catheter which comprises a first
stroke tube, a transmission tube and a probe structure, the transmission tube movably penetrates through the first
stroke tube, the probe structure comprises a mounting sleeve and an
optical fiber assembly, and the near end of the mounting sleeve is connected with the far end of the transmission tube and located in the first
stroke tube; the installation sleeve is provided with an installation channel in the axial direction, the periphery of the installation sleeve is provided with a through hole communicated with the installation channel, the
optical fiber assembly comprises an
optical fiber and a
prism, the optical
fiber penetrates through the transmission
pipe, the
prism is fixedly arranged in the installation channel, the far end of the optical
fiber is connected with the near end of the
prism, and the light-transmitting end face of the prism is perpendicular to the axis of the installation sleeve. The reflecting end face of the prism and the axis of the mounting sleeve form an
acute angle, the
generatrix, close to the through hole, of the prism coincides with the axis of the mounting sleeve and is longer than other
generatrix of the prism, and light beams transmitted by the optical
fiber can be reflected out of the through hole through the reflecting end face of the prism. The imaging
catheter provided by the invention can reduce
light beam loss and improve
imaging quality.
