Excerpt

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a recently developed optical analogue of ultrasound that measures the intensity of back reflected light rather than echoes of sound and translates these optical reflections into a high-resolution, two-dimensional tomographic image.1-3 Though OCT has many similarities to ultrasound, its use of light gives it some fundamental advantages. Because light has a much smaller wavelength than sound waves, the resolution of intravascular OCT is one to two orders of magnitude greater than IVUS.2-4 Also, the faster speed of light allows for a faster frame rate than ultrasound. Additionally, because OCT does not require a transducer, the catheter required for intravascular OCT imaging can be much smaller than that used for IVUS.5 …
