Intravascular imaging

In today's world, Intravascular imaging is a relevant topic that has gained great importance in different areas. From politics to science, Intravascular imaging has captured the attention of experts and everyday people alike. Throughout history, Intravascular imaging has been the subject of in-depth debates, research and analysis that have shed light on its importance and relevance in society. In this article, we will explore different aspects related to Intravascular imaging, from its origins to its impact today, with the aim of providing a comprehensive and complete vision of this topic that concerns us so much.

Intravascular imaging
Purposeprovides detailed and accurate measurements of vessel lumen morphology

Intravascular imaging is a catheter based system that allows physicians such as interventional cardiologists to acquire images of diseased vessels from inside the artery. Intravascular imaging provides detailed and accurate measurements of vessel lumen morphology, vessel size, extension of diseased artery segments, vessel size and plaque characteristics. Examples of intravascular imaging modalities are intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and intracoronary optical coherence tomography (OCT or IVOCT).
