Micro Optical Coherence Tomography for Coronary Imaging

Intravascular optical coherence tomography (IVOCT) that produces images with 10 m resolution has emerged as a significant technology for evaluating coronary architectural morphology. Yet, many features that are relevant to coronary plaque pathogenesis can only be seen at the cellular level. This issue has motivated the development of a next-generation form of OCT imaging that offers higher resolution. One such technology that we review here is termed micro-OCT (OCT) that ...
