Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is OCT?
OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography) is an imaging technique that uses light waves to capture high-resolution, cross-sectional images of coronary arteries, providing detailed information about the structure and composition of arterial plaques.
What are the key differences in imaging between IVUS+NIRS and OCT?
IVUS+NIRS combines ultrasound for structural imaging and NIRS for compositional analysis, focusing on identifying lipid-rich plaques. OCT provides higher resolution images of the arterial structure but primarily focuses on the microstructural detail rather than compositional analysis.
Which imaging modality is more widely available, IVUS+NIRS or OCT?
Availability can depend on the region and healthcare facility. OCT is widely used in many advanced cardiac centers due to its high resolution and detailed imaging capabilities, while IVUS+NIRS might be more specialized and available in centers focused on detailed plaque characterization.
What are the benefits of intracoronary imaging?
Intracoronary imaging offers several significant benefits:
- Detailed Visualization: Provides high-resolution images of the coronary arteries, allowing for detailed assessment of plaque and vessel structure.
- Accurate Diagnosis: Enhances the accuracy of diagnosing coronary artery disease by providing more precise information than traditional angiography alone.
- Guided Treatment: Assists in guiding interventions such as stent placement, ensuring precise deployment and reducing the risk of complications.
- Plaque Characterization: Helps in identifying the composition of plaques (e.g., lipid-rich, fibrous), which is crucial for assessing the risk of plaque rupture and subsequent cardiac events.
- Improved Outcomes: Contributes to better patient outcomes by facilitating targeted treatment strategies and reducing the likelihood of restenosis (re-narrowing of the artery).
