      COMPARISON OF POST STENT OPTICAL COHERENCE TOMOGRAPHY FINDINGS AMONG THREE SUBTYPES OF CALCIFIED CULPRIT PLAQUES IN PATIENTS WITH ACUTE CORONARY SYNDROME
      Background Recently, three subtypes of calcified plaques at the culprit lesion were reported in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS): eruptive calcified nodule, superficial calcific sheet, and calcified protrusion. Methods A total of 157 patients with ACS and calcified plaque at the culprit lesion were selected from our database. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) findings at index procedure and after stent implantation were compared among the three subgroups. Results In the ...

      Noise and bias in optical coherence tomography intensity signal decorrelation
      Functional optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging based on the decorrelation of the intensity signal has been used extensively in angiography and is finding use in flowmetry and therapy monitoring. In this work, we present a rigorous analysis of the autocorrelation function, introduce the concepts of contrast bias, statistical bias and variability, and identify the optimal definition of the second-order autocorrelation function (ACF) g (2) to improve its estimation from limited ...

      Comprehensive In Vivo Coronary Plaque Mapping: A 3-Vessel Optical Coherence Tomography Study
      Background Previous pathology studies demonstrated that thin-cap fibroatheroma (TCFA) is localized in specific segments of the epicardial coronary arteries. A detailed description of in vivo coronary plaques of various phenotypes has not been reported. Objectives We performed a comprehensive analysis on the distribution of coronary plaques with different phenotypes from our 3-vessel optical coherence tomography (OCT) database.

      Forward multiple scattering dominates speckle decorrelation in whole-blood flowmetry using optical coherence tomography
      Quantitative blood flow measurements using optical coherence tomography (OCT) have a wide potential range of medical research and clinical applications. Flowmetry based on the temporal dynamics of the OCT signal may have the ability to measure three-dimensional flow profiles regardless of the flow direction. State-of-the-art models describing the OCT signal temporal statistics are based on dynamic light scattering (DLS), a model which is inherently limited to single scattering regimes. DLS ...

      Insight into the fundamental trade-offs of diffusion MRI from polarization-sensitive optical coherence tomography in ex vivo human brain
      In the first study comparing high angular resolution diffusion MRI (dMRI) in the human brain to axonal orientation measurements from polarization-sensitive optical coherence tomography (PSOCT), we compare the accuracy of orientation estimates from various dMRI sampling schemes and reconstruction methods. We find that, if the reconstruction approach is chosen carefully, single-shell dMRI data can yield the same accuracy as multi-shell data, and only moderately lower accuracy than a full Cartesian-grid ...

      Capsule Endomicroscopy for Visualization of the Small Intestine in EED Population in Pakistan
      The laboratory has developed a minimally invasive screening method known as tethered capsule endomicroscopy (TCE) for imaging intestinal mucosa. With TCE, an unsedated subject swallows a tethered pill, which captures microscopic images of the entire esophagus, stomach, and small intestine, as it is naturally transits these organs via peristalsis and under the influence of gravity. The capsule implements a microscopic imaging technology called optical coherence tomography (OCT) that obtains 10-m-resolution ...

      Purpose : To compare artifact rates in two-dimensional (2D) versus three-dimensional (3D) retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) scans using Spectralis optical coherence tomography (OCT) Methods : Thirteen artifact types in 2D and 3D RNFL scans were identified in 106 glaucomatous eyes and 95 normal eyes. Artifact rates were calculated per B-scan and per eye. In 3D volume scans, artifacts were counted only for the 97 B-scans used to calculate RNFL parameters for ...

      Early versus delayed treatment with ticagrelor on residual thrombus after percutaneous coronary intervention in patients presenting with non-ST-elevation acute coronary syndrome: an optical coherence tomography study
      Ticagrelor, a P2Y12 antagonist, is well known for its rapid, high-potent inhibition of platelet aggregation by pharmacokinetic studies [ 1 ]. In the PLATO study, ticagrelor, compared to clopidogrel, reduced the incidence of myocardial infarction, stroke, cardiovascular death and definite stent thrombosis, during 12-month follow-up in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) [ 2 , 3 ]. To date, the effect of early ticagrelor administration versus treatment at the time ...

      Vectorial birefringence imaging by optical coherence microscopy for assessing fibrillar microstructures in the cornea and limbus
      The organization of fibrillar tissue on the micrometer scale carries direct implications for health and disease but remains difficult to assess in vivo . Polarization-sensitive optical coherence tomography measures birefringence, which relates to the microscopic arrangement of fibrillar tissue components. Here, we demonstrate a critical improvement in leveraging this contrast mechanism by employing the improved spatial resolution of focus-extended optical coherence microscopy (1.4 m axially in air and 1.6 ...

      Resolving absolute depth in circular-ranging optical coherence tomography by using a degenerate frequency comb
      In Fourier-domain optical coherence tomography, an interference signal is generated that spans an RF bandwidth proportional to the product of three parameters: the imaging range, the imaging speed, and the inverse of the axial resolution. Circular-ranging optical coherence tomography (CR-OCT) architectures were introduced to ease long-range imaging by decoupling the imaging range from the signal RF bandwidth. As a consequence, present CR-OCT systems resolve the relative, but not the absolute ...
