Abstract
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a high-resolution method for intravascular imaging of coronary arteries based on interferometry. This review presents technical features of OCT systems and basic characteristics of OCT images with reference to its diagnosis value for the study of atherosclerosis in comparison with intravascular ultrasound. The experience with detection of vulnerable plaque and elucidation of plaque morphology as a mechanism of acute coronary syndrome is analyzed. This review focuses on the applicability of OCT to research and clinical practice in the field of invasive cardiology.
