Abstract
This chapter reviews intracoronary optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging technology. An introduction about physical principles, image acquisition techniques, and available commercial systems is followed by a description about the use of OCT to assess coronary artery disease. OCT imaging and quantification of coronary artery lumen morphology, atherosclerosis progression, intracoronary stents, and use of OCT to guide percutaneous coronary intervention are described. This chapter then reviews known imaging artifacts that are typically encountered during OCT data analysis. Additionally, OCT clinical research applications are discussed as well as techniques for the automated assessment of OCT data. Concluding this chapter, future developments of OCT technology and combination with other modalities to enhance vascular assessment are described.
