| Description | Optical coherence tomography (OCT) with a resolution of 10-15 µm is currently the most accurate imaging modality for invasive coronary artery evaluation. As the options of signal and image processing and of using artificial intelligence in medicine progress, so does the evolution of OCT imaging. The article describes the history of OCT development and technical details of this modality, and summarizes the latest data obtained in scientific research. The introduction of novel software tools and hybrid modalities in cardiology may bring new possibilities in quantitative and qualitative assessment of coronary arteries during an interventional procedure. |
