Intravascular OCT

Intravascular OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography) is a specialized imaging technique used by cardiologists to examine the inside of blood vessels, especially arteries. It involves threading a tiny, flexible catheter equipped with a miniature light source and camera into the vessel. The device captures high-resolution, detailed images of the vessel walls, allowing doctors to detect blockages, plaque buildup, and damage. This precise visualization helps in diagnosing, planning treatments like stenting, and ensuring optimal intervention outcomes, all with minimal discomfort and quick procedure time.
