Journal ArticleDOI

Characterization of Atherosclerotic Plaques by Laser Speckle Imaging

TL;DR: The results demonstrate that LSI is a highly sensitive technique for characterizing plaque and identifying thin-cap fibroatheromas and provide an index of plaque viscoelasticity and facilitates the characterization of plaque type.

Method and apparatus for three-dimensional spectrally encoded imaging

TL;DR: In this article, a method and apparatus for obtaining three-dimensional surface measurements using phase-sensitive spectrally encoded imaging is described, where both transverse and depth information is transmitted through a singlemode optical fiber, allowing this technique to be incorporated into a miniature probe.
Journal ArticleDOI

Optical coherence tomography for imaging the vulnerable plaque

TL;DR: Results show that intracoronary OCT may be safely conducted in patients and that it provides abundant information regarding plaque microscopic morphology, which is essential to the identification and study of high-risk lesions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Two-axis magnetically-driven MEMS scanning catheter for endoscopic high-speed optical coherence tomography

TL;DR: A two-axis scanning catheter was developed for 3D endoscopic imaging with spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) with microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) technology and both intensity and polarization-sensitive images could be acquired simultaneously at 18.5K axial scans/s.
Journal ArticleDOI

Speckle reduction in OCT using massively-parallel detection and frequency-domain ranging

TL;DR: Incoherent averaging of the angle-resolved data is shown to yield substantial speckle reduction (as high as an 8 dB SNR improvement) in images of a tissue phantom and esophageal tissue ex vivo.
