1. Clinical and Research Applications of Optical Coherence Tomography Imaging in Coronary Artery Disease (Book Chapter)
  
  Explore intechopen.com Apr 1 2013 Cardiology , Textbooks
  
  Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is an optical analog of intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) that allows microscopic visualization of coronary plaque types and intracoronary tissue. The high-resolution images of OCT produce an intense interest in adopting this imaging technique for both clinical and research purposes. In clinical aspects, OCT imaging for undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is feasible and provides superior resolution of arterial pathology than IVUS. During PCI, OCT can assess pre-procedural coronary plaque morphology and acute effects of coronary intervention (dissection, tissue prolapse, thrombi, and incomplete stent apposition (ISA)). Moreover, OCT provides more useful information to consider PCI strategy, such ...

  Optical coherence tomography is a medical high-resolution imaging technology which offers several distinct advantages over current medical imaging technologies. With a resolution 25x greater than current technologies, its ability to be engineered very small due to its fiber-based design these devices, and it is high speed with frame rates close to video rates, this technology is attracting a great many researchers. This second edition brings together information needed by the various, and sometimes disparate, groups using and studying this technology. It is completely updated throughout with the most recent research and applications. This is not a book on how to ...

  Intra-coronary imaging can enhance the success rate of CTO recanalization, improving the mid- to long-term outcome, and decreasing the incidence of sub-optimal stent deployment. Percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) to chronic total occlusions (CTO) of the coronary arteries are amongst the most challenging lesions faced by the interventional cardiologist. This chapter aims to describe the role of a recently introduced technology optical coherence tomography (OCT) in the treatment of CTO, outlining the principles underlying the use of OCT, summarizing research on the use of this technique to date, and proposing possible future applications in percutaneous coronary interventions. Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) continues ...

7. Large-volume optical coherence tomography with real-time correction of geometric distortion artifacts (Book Chapter)
  
  Explore arxiv.org Dec 12 2012 Textbooks
  
  Large-volume optical coherence tomography (OCT)-setups employ scanning mirrors and suffer from non-linear geometric distortion artifacts in which the degree of distortion is determined by the maximum angles over which the mirrors rotate. In this chapter, we describe a straightforward approach to correct for these distortion artifacts, creating an alternative to previously reported ray-tracing schemes that are unable to apply these corrections in real-time. By implementing the proposed 3D recalibration algorithm on the graphics card of a standard computer, this feature can be applied in real-time. We validate the accuracy of the technique using OCT measurements of a highly curved ...

  The geometric and anatomical complexity of bifurcations makes its systematic scientific approach very challenging. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is able to depict accurately the plaque distribution around the bifurcation, to provide valuable information to tailor the procedure in each specific case, and to assess the result after stenting. Some guidelines are proposed for the systematic study of bifurcations with OCT, assessing the apposition, tissue coverage, the presence of overlap or multi-layer segments, the presence of non-apposed side-branch struts, the scaffolding of the carina and the shoulder, and the access to the side branch.

  This book presents the fundamental physics of optical interferometry as applied to biophysical, biological and medical research. Interference is at the core of many types of optical detection and is a powerful probe of cellular and tissue structure in interfererence microscopy and in optical coherence tomography. It is also the root cause of speckle and other imaging artefacts that limit range and resolution. For biosensor applications, the inherent sensitivity of interferometry enables ultrasensitive detection of molecules in biological samples for medical diagnostics. In this book, emphasis is placed on the physics of light scattering, beginning with the molecular origins of ...

  Digital holography using low-coherence light source has distinct imaging characteristics and applications. A number of special techniques have been developed to take advantage of such distinct characteristics of interference by low-coherence light. Topographic and tomographic imaging follow naturally from the well-established and still evolving field of low-coherence interferometry. A very significant contribution by digital holography is the possibility of holographic recording of white light or fluorescence. Although some of the principles have been known in conventional holography, recording of extended objects under white light illumination suffers from precipitous degradation of interference contrast due to noninterfering background. DH-related techniques, such as ...
