Abstract:
OCT achieves high-resolution and image differentiation of vascular tissues to a degree that has not been previously possible with any method except excisional biopsy. Thus, OCT represents a promising new diagnostic technology for intracoronary imaging, which could permit the in vivo evaluation of critical vascular pathology.
