Systems and methods for interfacing an Optical Coherence Domain
Reflectometry (OCDR) system to an ultrasound console are provided. A
first electronics interface embodiment processes parallel channel outputs
of the OCDR system into a serial analog signal for input to an ultrasound
console. Another electronics interface embodiment processes the parallel
channel outputs of the OCDR system into a digital data sequence for input
to an ultrasound console having a digital input. Yet another electronics
interface embodiment processes a multiplexed output from a multiplexed
photo array into an analog or digital form for input to an ultrasound
console. Still another electronics interface embodiment processes a
plurality of multiplexed outputs from a multiplexed photo array into an
analog or digital form for input to an ultrasound console.
