1. An imaging system for a patient comprising:
an imaging probe, comprising:
an elongate shaft comprising a proximal end, a distal portion,
and a lumen extending between the proximal end and the distal portion;
a rotatable optical core comprising a proximal end and a distal end, wherein at least a portion of the rotatable optical core is positioned within the lumen of the elongate shaft; and
an optical assembly positioned proximate the distal end of the rotatable optical core, the optical assembly configured to direct light to tissue and collect reflected light from the tissue; and the imaging system further comprising:
a console comprising a light source having a coherence length greater than 10 mm; and
an imaging assembly constructed and arranged to optically communicate with the imaging probe, the imaging assembly configured to emit light into the imaging probe and receive the reflected light collected by the optical assembly;
wherein the imaging probe further comprises a scan range of no less
than 6 mm, and wherein at least the distal portion of the elongate shaft comprises an outer diameter of no more than 0.034″.
