Intracoronary Imaging Techniques

Intracoronary imaging techniques are advanced procedures used to visualize the inside of coronary arteries, which supply blood to the heart. These techniques include ultrasound-based methods like Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS) and Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT). They help doctors assess the condition of arteries, detect blockages, and guide interventions during heart procedures. By providing detailed images of artery walls and plaques, these techniques enhance our understanding of heart disease and improve treatment outcomes, allowing for more precise and effective care for patients with cardiovascular conditions.
