Optical diagnostic endoscope
PSI is developing an advanced multimodal optical imaging instrument for diagnosing olfactory diseases with combined Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) and reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM).
Key Features
- Depth-resolved imaging of olfactory neuroepithelium (OnE) with micron-scale resolution.
- High-resolution quantitative images of OnE cellular morphology.
- Identification of morphological changes of OnE associated with OD.

The multimodal instrument enables rhinologists to significantly improve the accuracy of diagnosing and monitoring olfactory dysfunction by analyzing OnE morphology and function.
