Optical coherence tomography - a new tool for coronary artery imaging
- Kardiologická klinika, Masarykova nemocnice a Univerzita J. E. Purkyně, Ústí nad Labem, Česká republika
The authors concisely discuss the imaging potential of optical coherence tomography as another major advance in imaging individual structures of the vessel wall and assessing the pathological processes that occur there, particularly for the detection and evaluation of atherosclerotic plaques and, subsequently, for assessing the outcome of treatment of coronary arteries.
