Validating Intravascular Imaging with Serial Optical Coherence Tomography and Confocal Fluorescence Microscopy

Validating Intravascular Imaging with Serial Optical Coherence Tomography and Confocal Fluorescence Microscopy

Atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases are characterized by the formation of a plaque in the arterial wall. Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) provides high-resolution images allowing delineation of atherosclerotic plaques. When combined with near infrared fluorescence (NIRF), the plaque can also be s...
