      Healed Culprit Plaques in Patients With Acute Coronary Syndrome
      ackground Healed plaques, morphologically characterized by a layered phenotype, are frequently found in subjects with sudden cardiac death. However, in vivo data are lacking. Objectives The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence, morphological characteristics, and clinical significance of healed culprit plaques in patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS) using optical coherence tomography (OCT). Methods A total of 376 ACS patients (252 ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction [MI] and ...

      Explore The JAMA Network Cardiology
      Comparing the Risk Factors of Plaque Rupture and Failed Plaque Healing in Acute Coronary Syndrome
      The article by Vergallo et al 1 in this issue of JAMA Cardiology supports a hypothesis that healed plaques are a marker for reduced acute coronary syndrome (ACS) risk. This commentary expands on this idea by examining a mechanistic hypothesis of their results beyond looking at healing just as a marker. Specifically, failed healing, which correlated in the study by Vergallo et al 1 with long core axial extent, predisposes ...

      Extended Coherence Length and Depth Ranging Using a Fourier-Domain Mode-Locked Frequency Comb and Circular Interferometric Ranging
      Fourier-domain mode locking has been a popular laser design for high-speed optical-frequency-domain imaging (OFDI), but achieving long coherence lengths, and therefore imaging range, has been challenging. The narrow linewidth of a Fourier-domain mode-locked (FDML) frequency-comb (FC) laser could provide an attractive platform for high-speed as well as long-range OFDI. Unfortunately, aliasing artifacts arising from signals beyond the principal measurement depth of the free spectral range have prohibited the use of ...

      Purpose: To combine advances in high-speed, wide-field optical coherence tomography angiography ( OCTA ) with image processing methods for semiautomatic quantitative analysis of capillary nonperfusion in patients with diabetic retinopathy (DR). Methods: Sixty-eight diabetic patients (73 eyes), either without retinopathy or with different degrees of retinopathy, were prospectively recruited for volumetric swept-source OCTA imaging using 12 mm 12 mm fields centered at the fovea. A custom, semiautomatic software algorithm was used to ...

      A Mechanical Approach for Smooth Surface Fitting to Delineate Vessel Walls in Optical Coherence Tomography Images
      Automated analysis of vascular imaging techniques is limited by the inability to precisely determine arterial borders. Intravascular optical coherence tomography (OCT) offers unprecedented detail of artery wall structure and composition, but does not provide consistent visibility of the outer border of the vessel due to limited penetration depth. Existing interpolation and surface fitting methods prove insufficient to accurately fill the gaps between the irregularly-spaced and sometimes unreliably-identified visible segments of ...

      Computer-Aided Analysis of Gland-Like Subsurface Hyposcattering Structures in Barrett’s Esophagus Using Optical Coherence Tomography
      (1) Background: Barretts esophagus (BE) is a complication of chronic gastroesophageal reflux disease and is a precursor to esophageal adenocarcinoma. The clinical implication of subsurface glandular structures of Barretts esophagus is not well understood. Optical coherence tomography (OCT), also known as volumetric laser endomicroscopy (VLE), can assess subsurface glandular structures, which appear as subsurface hyposcattering structures (SHSs). The aim of this study is to develop a computer-aided algorithm and apply ...

      Colocalization of neurons in optical coherence microscopy and Nissl-stained histology in Brodmann’s area 32 and area 21
      Optical coherence tomography is an optical technique that uses backscattered light to highlight intrinsic structure, and when applied to brain tissue, it can resolve cortical layers and fiber bundles. Optical coherence microscopy (OCM) is higher resolution (i.e., 1.25 m) and is capable of detecting neurons. In a previous report, we compared the correspondence of OCM acquired imaging of neurons with traditional Nissl stained histology in entorhinal cortex layer ...

      Optic axis mapping with catheter-based polarization-sensitive optical coherence tomography
      Birefringence offers an intrinsic contrast mechanism related to the microstructure and arrangement of fibrillary tissue components. Here we present a reconstruction strategy to recover not only the scalar amount of birefringence, but also its optic axis orientation as a function of depth in tissue from measurements with catheter-based polarization-sensitive optical coherence tomography. A polarization symmetry constraint, intrinsic to imaging in the backscatter direction, facilitates the required compensation for wavelength-dependent transmission ...
