Abstract
A technical feasibility of autofluorescence ductoscopy in breast milk ducts as blood vessels phantoms has been assessed as successful. Malignant tumor can be clearly identified through the milk ducts. We also present the operation principle as well as the preliminary experimental results of a new type of microsize multicore fiber that enables imaging through blood vessel phantoms. Imaging of a manipulated microwire through a drilled phantom is presented.
