      Dynamic Contrast Microscopic Optical Coherence Tomography As a Novel Method for Assessing Corneal Epithelium During Exposure to Benzalkonium Chloride
      Purpose: Microscopic optical coherence tomography (mOCT) has an imaging resolution of 1 m in all voxel dimensions, but individual epithelial cells are difficult to resolve due to lack of scattering contrast. Adding dynamic contrast processing to mOCT (dmOCT) results in color images that enable visualization of individual cells and possibly give information on cellular function via the calculation of a motility coefficient. We propose this technique as a novel method ...

      Laser-integrated Real-Time Optical Coherence Tomography (LI-OCT) in Anterior Segment Procedures
      Intraoperative optical coherence tomography (OCT) was so far only available as microscope-integrated or hand-held device. Recently, this technology has been integrated into a femtosecond laser (FS). This pilot-study analyzes the potential of intraoperative imaging using OCT during FS-assisted procedures of the anterior eye segment. Therefore, intraoperatively acquired videos using FS-integrated intraoperative OCT (LI-OCT) in 14 patients (Victus, Bausch and Lomb, Rochester, USA) where analyzed in different surgical. The results show ...

      Lesion Geometry as Assessed by Optical Coherence Tomography Is Related to Myocardial Ischemia as Determined by Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging
      Introduction: Although the relationship between the geometry of coronary stenosis and the presence of myocardial ischemia is well known, the association between stenosis geometry and severity and/or extent of ischemia is still unexplored. Thus, we investigated this relationship using optical coherence tomography (OCT) to assess stenosis parameters and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) to determine both extent and severity of ischemia. Methods: We analyzed 55 lesions from 51 patients ...

    8. Coronary plaque composition influences biomechanical stress and predicts plaque rupture in a morpho-mechanic OCT analysis

      Explore Latest research Cardiology
      Coronary plaque composition influences biomechanical stress and predicts plaque rupture in a morpho-mechanic OCT analysis
      Plaque rupture occurs if stress within coronary lesions exceeds the protection exerted by the fibrous cap overlying the necrotic lipid core. However, very little is known about the biomechanical stress exerting this disrupting force. Employing optical coherence tomography (OCT), we generated plaque models and performed finite-element analysis to simulate stress distributions within the vessel wall in 10 ruptured and 10 non-ruptured lesions. In ruptured lesions, maximal stress within fibrous cap ...

      Prognostic irrelevance of plaque vulnerability following plaque sealing in high-risk patients with type 2 diabetes: an optical coherence tomography study
      Background Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is associated with an increased cardiovascular risk related at least in part to a more vulnerable plaque phenotype. However, patients with T2DM exhibit also an increased risk following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). It is unknown if plaque vulnerability of a treated lesion influences cardiovascular outcomes in patients with T2DM. In this study, we aimed to assess the association of plaque morphology as determined by ...

      Microscope-Integrated Optical Coherence Tomography-Guided Drainage of Acute Corneal Hydrops in Keratoconus Combined With Suturing and Gas-Aided Reattachment of Descemet Membrane
      Purpose: The treatment of acute corneal hydrops due to keratoconus has so far been limited to awaiting the spontaneous resorption of corneal edema, supportive care, and finally keratoplasty. A recent publication describes the surgical reattachment of Descemet Membrane (DM) facilitated by pre-Descemetic sutures and anterior chamber air/gas filling. Here, we present a novel microscope-integrated intraoperative optical coherence tomography ( MI-OCT )-guided technique for the immediate reattachment of DM in corneal ...

      Label-Free In Vivo Imaging of Corneal Lymphatic Vessels Using Microscopic Optical Coherence Tomography
      Purpose : Corneal neovascularization, in particular lymphangiogenesis, is a limiting factor in corneal transplant survival. Novel treatment approaches focus on (selective) inhibition and regression of lymphatic vessels. Imaging clinically invisible corneal lymphatic vessels is a prerequisite for these strategies. Using a murine model, this study investigates whether corneal lymphatic vessels can be imaged using microscopic optical coherence tomography (mOCT). Methods : Corneal neovascularization was induced by intrastromal placement of 11.0 nylon ...
