3. Validation of swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) for the diagnosis of occlusal caries

   Explore Article ScienceDirect (May 13 2010) Dentistry

   Objectives Detection of pit and fissure caries by current methods is not highly sensitive. In this laboratory study, we examined the use of a swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) as a diagnostic tool for occlusal caries. Methods One-hundred and eleven investigation sites of occlusal fissures were selected from 62 extracted teeth and examined visually using conventional dental equipment without any magnification. SS-OCT observations were carried out on the same locations ... (Read Full Article)

5. In-stent restenosis associated with stent malapposition: Seven year optical coherence tomography findings

   Explore Article International Journal of Cardiology (Mar 14 2010) Cardiology

   Abstract: Stent thrombosis and in-stent restenosis remain significant issues in post-coronary angioplasty care despite advances in anti-platelet therapy and stent technology. Angiographic predictors of stent failure have been proposed, but its precise mechanism has been difficult to elucidate on conventional coronary angiography and intravascular ultrasound due to the low resolution of either approach. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) as a high-resolution intracoronary imaging modality has enabled more detailed insight into the ... (Read Full Article)

9. Optical coherence tomography assessment of a new dedicated bifurcation stent

   Explore Article eurointervention.org (Nov 16 2009) Cardiology

   Dedicated bifurcation stents should facilitate deployment and improved coverage of bifurcational lesions. We used optical coherence tomography (OCT) to assess bifurcation lesions treated with a dedicated stent implanted in the side branch (SB) in conjunction with drug eluting stents in the main vessel (MV) in a culotte-like fashion.

10. Use of optical coherence tomography in interventional cardiology

    Explore Article futuremedicine.com (Nov 7 2009) Cardiology

    Optical coherence tomography (OCT) has offered a greater understanding of coronary atherosclerosis with the ability to visualize plaque and quantify the thin, fibrous cap. Furthermore, OCT is able to traverse many of the limitations of angiography and intravascular ultrasound when imaging coronary stents in vivo. These applications are as a result of the use of near-infrared light, permitting an almost ‘histological’ resolution of the coronary artery. Novel developments with faster ...

    Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is an intracoronary diagnostic technique recently applied in clinical practice that provides high-quality, highresolution (10-20 μm, compared to 80-120 μm with intracoronary ultrasound) cross-sectional images of the vessels. This technique provides valuable information on the characterization of plaques, the mechanisms implicated in thrombosis or restenosis of coronary stents, and relevant information to optimize the results of coronary interventional procedures.

    Objectives We used optical coherence tomography, which has a resolution of <20 µm, to analyze thin layers of neointima in rapamycin-eluting coronary stents. Background Lack of neointimal coverage has been implicated in the pathogenesis of drug-eluting coronary stent thrombosis. Angiography and intracoronary ultrasound lack the resolution to examine this.
