Fatty streak assessed by optical coherence tomography: early atherosclerosis detection

ehjcimaging.oxfordjournals.org Aug 31 2012 Cardiology

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...
