Computer-aided image analysis algorithm to enhance in vivo diagnosis of plaque erosion by intravascular optical coherence tomography.
BACKGROUND Recent reports show that plaque erosion can be diagnosed in vivo using optical coherence tomography in patients with acute coronary syndrome. However, quantitative optical coherence tomographic image criteria for computer-aided diagnosis of plaque erosion have not been established. METHODS AND RESULTS A total of 42 patients with acute coronary syndrome caused by plaque erosion were...
متن کاملVolumetric quantification of fibrous caps using intravascular optical coherence tomography
The rupture of thin-cap fibroatheroma accounts for most acute coronary events. Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) allows quantification of fibrous cap (FC) thickness in vivo. Conventional manual analysis, by visually determining the thinnest part of the FC is subject to inter-observer variability and does not capture the 3-D morphology of the FC. We propose and validate a computer-aided method ...
متن کاملAdvances in Intravascular Imaging: New Insights into the Vulnerable Plaque from Imaging Studies
The term "vulnerable plaque" denotes the plaque characteristics that are susceptible to coronary thrombosis. Previous post-mortem studies proposed 3 major mechanisms of coronary thrombosis: plaque rupture, plaque erosion, and calcified nodules. Of those, characteristics of rupture-prone plaque have been extensively studied. Pathology studies have identified the features of rupture-prone plaque ...
متن کاملMultimodality Intravascular Imaging Assessment of Plaque Erosion versus Plaque Rupture in Patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES We assessed plaque erosion of culprit lesions in patients with acute coronary syndrome in real world practice. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Culprit lesion plaque rupture or plaque erosion was diagnosed with optical coherence tomography (OCT). Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) was used to determine arterial remodeling. Positive remodeling was defined as a remodeling index (lesi...
متن کاملApplication of Intravascular Ultrasound in the Era of Optical Coherence Tomography
Intravascular imaging has advanced our understanding of in vivo path physiology of coronary artery disease (CAD) and predicted decision-making in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) has emerged as the first clinical imaging method contributing significantly to modern PCI techniques. This modality has outlived many other intravascular techniques 25 years aft...
