OCT: Ready for Prime Time? Clinical Applications of Optical Coherence Tomography

摘要

Optical Coherence Tomography is a technology that creates high-resolution images from live tissue specimen. The authors provided a summary of recent studies and concluded that this technology may be meaningful in histology, may enable a greater understanding to the pathophysiology of coronary artery disease and patient-specific therapeutic approach, and may have an important role in the future of cardiology.
