We retrospectively reviewed our 34 first wrist dry arthroscopy cases using a single-use, 1.9 mm chip-on-tip system in wide-awake local anesthesia no tourniquet (WALANT). Thirteen patients were acute injuries; all acute patients underwent a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) before arthroscopy. In total, 20 of 34 patients had a preoperative MRI. We use this method as a diagnostic tool in patients with wrist pain with suspected ligament tears and for the planning of treatment. We see 2 main advantages in the use of the needle chip-on-tip system: the simplicity of the procedure, and the minimal invasive character of the procedure due to the needle size that makes it possible to perform the procedure in WALANT. We find that the needle chip-on-tip arthroscopy system is a safe and cost-efficient alternative to wrist MRI with superior diagnostic ability. The procedure is minimally invasive and well suited for WALANT.

In this paper, we present the design and fabrication of a novel chip-on-tip catheter, which uses a microcamera and optical fibres to capture in vivo images in a beating porcine heart thanks to a saline flush to clear the blood field. Here, we demonstrate the medical utility and mechanical robustness of this catheter platform system, which could be used for other optical diagnostic techniques, surgical guidance, and clinical navigation. We also discuss some of the challenges and system requirements associated with developing a miniature prototype for such a study and present assembly instructions.

In this work we demonstrate a miniaturised imaging system based around a time-gated SPAD array operating in a "chip-on-tip" manner. Two versions of the system are demonstrated, each measuring 23 mm × 23 mm × 28 mm with differing fields of view and working distances. Initial tests demonstrate contrast between materials in widefield fluorescence imaging (WFLIm) mode, with frame rates of > 2 Hz achievable.

We are designing a real-time spectral imaging system using micro-LEDs and a high-speed micro-camera for potential endoscopic applications. Currently, gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopic imaging has largely been limited to white light imaging (WLI), while other endoscopic approaches have seen advancements in imaging techniques including fluorescence imaging, narrow-band imaging, and stereoscopic visualization. To further advance GI endoscopic imaging, we are working towards a high-speed spectral imaging system that can be implemented with a chip-on-tip design for a flexible endoscope.

Laser speckle contrast imaging (LSCI) is an important non-invasive capability for real-time imaging for tissue-perfusion assessment. Yet, the size and weight of current clinical standard LSCI instrumentation restricts usage to mainly peripheral skin perfusion. Miniaturization of LSCI could enable hand-held instrumentation to image internal organ/tissue to produce accurate speckle-perfusion maps.

Gastrointestinal cancers continue to account for a disproportionately large percentage of annual cancer deaths in the US. Advancements in miniature imaging technology combined with a need for precise and thorough tumor detection in gastrointestinal cancer screenings fuel the demand for new, small-scale, and low-cost methods of localization and margin identification with improved accuracy. Here, we report the development of a miniaturized, chip-on-tip, multispectral, fluorescence imaging probe designed to port through a gastroscope working channel with the aim of detecting cancerous lesions in point-of-care endoscopy of the gastrointestinal lumen.
