摘要
Probes, catheters, systems, methods, and ferrofluids are provides for acquiring direct visualization medical images of internal structures. The probes can include a channel, an optical waveguide, and a ferrofluid attractor. The ferrofluid attractor can be configured to magnetically attract the ferrofluid when exiting a distal port of the channel. The medical image can be acquired through the ferrofluid, which is excluding blood from the area that the ferrofluid is occupying. The ferrofluid has a lower optical absorbance than blood, so the acquiring the image through the ferrofluid rather than through blood provides improved images.
