Abstract
Latest advancements in intracoronary imaging have enabled the insertion of miniaturized catheters with imaging probes in coronary arteries in order to provide detailed imaging information in a cross-sectional image format after an automated pullback. Cross-sectional images can then be also used for longitudinal reconstructions for the vessel segment imaged. There are two main broadly available intracoronary imaging modalities, namely intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and optical coherence tomography (OCT), which provide information on (1) the lumen and wall morphology as well as the anatomic and tissue characteristics of atherosclerotic plaques, and (2) endovascular implants 1, 2. The main imaging features that are visualized during IVUS or OCT imaging in everyday clinical practice in the catheterization laboratory will be presented using intravascular images from routine cases.
