Optical Coherence Tomography in Coronary Atherosclerosis
Despite developments in therapeutic and diagnostic technologies, the global burden of atherosclerotic coronary artery disease is increasing. Intravascular imaging has become an invaluable adjunct to percutaneous coronary intervention. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a catheter based invasive imaging system that uses light instead of ultrasound to produce high resolution in vivo images of ...
متن کاملClinical Applications of Optical Coherence Tomography in Ophthalmology
Assessment of the peripapillary nerve fiber layer and macular thickness can be determined in ophthalmology using optical coherence tomography (OCT). Decreased nerve fiber layer thickness and macular ganglion cell thickness in optic nerve ischemia have been correlated with visual field loss. OCT allows deep optic nerve head evaluation which helps understand pathophysiology of diseases. Furtherm...
متن کاملOptical Coherence Tomography Guided Percutaneous Coronary Intervention.
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is an increasingly available intracoronary imaging modality that provides high-resolution imaging of coronary arteries. Its fundamental reliance on the emission and reflection of light enables rapid data acquisition without compromise of image resolution. As such, OCT can inform operators planning percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) by accurately defining...
متن کاملThe invasive assessment of coronary atherosclerosis and stents using optical coherence tomography: a clinical update
Ischaemic heart disease (IHD) remains one of the leading causes of death. Atherosclerosis has been intensely researched given the IHD prevalence and the financial impacts on healthcare systems. More recently, in vivo characterisation of coronary atherosclerotic plaque and tissue responses following stent implantation in a coronary artery has been made possible by a novel technology called optic...
متن کاملFatty streak assessed by optical coherence tomography: early atherosclerosis detection.
Macrophage plays a crucial role for atherosclerotic plaque and its measurement is important. Fatty streak consists of macrophage foam cells, but its assessment by optical coherence tomography (OCT) has not been established in vivo. These images were derived from an aorta of Watanabe heritable hyperlipidaemia rabbit ex vivo. OCT cross-sectional image shows a linear highbrightness region (arrows)...
