Are Microcalcification and Hemosiderin Really Limitations of OCT in Detection of TCFA?

With great interest, we read the recent work by Fujii et al. (1) published in iJACC reporting the diagnostic accuracy of optical coherence tomography (OCT) and grayscale intravascular ultrasound for the detection of coronary thin cap fibroatheroma (TCFA) with histologic validation in human autopsy hearts. In this publication, Fujii et al. (1) documented a limited capability of OCT and intravascular ultrasound for TCFA identification when each imaging device was solely ...
