A novel hybrid catheter combines optical coherence tomography imaging and beta detection for vascular disease diagnosis. This integrated device enables simultaneous visualization and radioactive particle detection within blood vessels.

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Medical Imaging
  • Nuclear Medicine

Background:

  • Vascular diseases require advanced diagnostic tools for early detection and characterization.
  • Current imaging modalities may lack the sensitivity or specificity for certain pathological conditions.
  • Simultaneous multi-modal sensing offers potential for improved diagnostic accuracy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a prototype hybrid catheter device for simultaneous vascular imaging and detection.
  • To integrate optical coherence tomography (OCT) and beta detection capabilities into a single catheter probe.
  • To demonstrate the feasibility of this hybrid approach for enhanced vascular disease assessment.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a prototype catheter integrating a high-resolution OCT probe.
