Journal ArticleDOI
Large area confocal microscopy.
TL;DR: A single-optical-fiber SECM apparatus is demonstrated, designed for imaging luminal organs, that is capable of imaging with a transverse resolution of 2.1 microm over a subsurface area of 16 cm2 in less than 1 min.
Journal ArticleDOI
Artifacts in polarization-sensitive optical coherence tomography caused by polarization mode dispersion.
Martin Villiger,Ellen Ziyi Zhang,Seemantini K. Nadkarni,Wang-Yuhl Oh,Brett E. Bouma,Benjamin J. Vakoc +5 more
TL;DR: It is shown that artifacts can be avoided by limiting the system PMD to less than the system axial resolution, and that spatial averaging over a dimension larger than that characteristic of speckle is required to remove a PMD-induced bias of the local retardation values.
Journal ArticleDOI
In-vivo comparison of coronary plaque characteristics using optical coherence tomography in women vs. men with acute coronary syndrome.
Stanley Chia,O. Christopher Raffel,Masamichi Takano,Guillermo J. Tearney,Brett E. Bouma,Ik-Kyung Jang +5 more
TL;DR: No significant sex difference was seen in culprit plaque characteristics determined by OCT imaging in patients who presented with ACS, suggesting that women with acute coronary syndromes have worse outcomes than men.
Patent
Apparatus and methods for color endoscopy
TL;DR: In this article, an apparatus for providing electromagnetic radiation to a structure can be provided, which can include a first arrangement having at least two wave-guides which can be configured to provide there through two respective electro-magnetic radiations with at least partially different wavelengths from one another.
Patent
System and method for providing cell specific laser therapy of atherosclerotic plaques by targeting light absorbers in macrophages
Seemantini K. Nadkarni,Guillermo J. Tearney,Brett E. Bouma,Benjamin J. Vakoc,R. Rox Anderson +4 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an apparatus and method according to the present invention can be provided, e.g., for a cell specific laser therapy of atherosclerotic plaques, particularly to systems and methods for targeting endogenous light absorbers present within plaque macrophages.
