Characterization of coronary atherosclerotic plaques by multidetector computed tomography.
Multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) provides 3-dimensional noninvasive visualization of the coronary arterial tree. We compared MDCT with intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) for assessment of severity of coronary artery stenosis and composition of atherosclerotic plaques in 40 patients (32 men; mean age 52 years, range 33 to 86) with documented coronary artery disease. Cross-sectional images o...
متن کاملVisualization of coronary atherosclerotic plaques in patients using optical coherence tomography: comparison with intravascular ultrasound.
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility and the ability of intravascular optical coherence tomography (OCT) to visualize the components of coronary plaques in living patients. BACKGROUND Disruption of a vulnerable coronary plaque with subsequent thrombosis is currently recognized as the primary mechanism for acute myocardial infarction. Although such plaques are consi...
متن کاملIdentification and quantification of macrophage presence in coronary atherosclerotic plaques by optical coherence tomography.
AIMS Vulnerable plaques are characterized by a high macrophage content. We investigated the optical coherence tomography (OCT) capability of identifying coronary plaque macrophage presence using tissue property indexes. METHODS AND RESULTS Fifteen epicardial coronary arteries were imaged by OCT and subsequently analysed by histology. Correlating OCT-histological sections were identified and r...
متن کاملNoninvasive coronary angiography with multislice computed tomography.
CONTEXT Multislice computed tomography (MSCT) has recently evolved as a modality for noninvasive coronary imaging. OBJECTIVE To assess the accuracy and robustness of MSCT vs the criterion standard of invasive coronary angiography for detection of obstructive coronary artery disease. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PATIENTS Prospective, single-center study conducted in a referral center setting in Germ...
متن کاملAutomated tissue characterization of in vivo atherosclerotic plaques by intravascular optical coherence tomography images
Intravascular optical coherence tomography (IVOCT) is rapidly becoming the method of choice for the in vivo investigation of coronary artery disease. While IVOCT visualizes atherosclerotic plaques with a resolution <20µm, image analysis in terms of tissue composition is currently performed by a time-consuming manual procedure based on the qualitative interpretation of image features. We illustr...
