Abstract
In order to apply a novel optical imaging technique, a contrast mechanism must be combined with a device architecture. In this Chapter, emerging endoscopic device architectures are described, and their impact on clinical translation is considered. This is followed by a description of the device architecture we chose to develop, the work done to address its limitations, including an assessment of comb artefact removal and demosaicking algorithms, and the advantages this device architecture affords us.
