Abstract

A rotation type optical tomography scanner is provided, including an illuminating unit disposed on a surface of an object-to-be-detected for emitting incident light to tissues under the surface of the object-to-be-detected; a detecting unit disposed on the object-to-be-detected and rotating around the illuminating unit to receive diffuse light diffused from the tissues under the surface of the object-to-be-detected and generate tissue sensing information; and a positioning unit for generating position information of the rotation type optical tomography scanner. The rotation type optical tomography scanner transmits the sensing information and the position information to a remodel module to rebuild the tissue images under the surface of the object-to-be-detected, thereby expanding the scanning range of the object-to-be-detected.

Claims (5)

1. A rotation type optical scanner, comprising:

a circular carrier having a circle center and rotating around the circle center;

an illuminator disposed at the circle center of the circular carrier and emitting incident light onto tissues under a surface of an object-to-be-detected; and

a detector disposed on the circular carrier and performing a circular motion, with the illuminator as a center, around the illuminator in accordance with rotation of the circular carrier, wherein the detector receives diffuse light diffused from the incident light onto the tissues under the surface of the object-to-be-detected and generates sensing information of the tissues under the surface of the object-to-be-detected.

2. The rotation type optical scanner of claim 1 , further comprising a drive mechanism that drives the circular carrier, wherein the drive mechanism is used to drive the circular carrier to rotate.
