Journal ArticleDOI
Optical coherence tomographic elastography technique for measuring deformation and strain of atherosclerotic tissues
TL;DR: In this paper, optical coherence tomographic elastography (OCTE) was used to assess the elastic properties of atherosclerotic plaque and the parameters that influence interpretation.
Proceedings Article

TL;DR: In this article, the ability of polarization spectroscopy and elastography, in conjunction with optical coherence tomography, to determine the properties of collagen organization in musculoskeletal tissue was demonstrated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantitative optical coherence tomographic elastography: method for assessing arterial mechanical properties.
TL;DR: The results indicate that elastography based on OCT represents an attractive technique for evaluating the mechanical properties of tissues.
REVIEW ARTICLE Review of the Ability of Optical Coherence Tomography to Characterize Plaque, Including a Comparison with Intravascular Ultrasound
TL;DR: OCT as discussed by the authors is analogous to ultrasound, measuring the intensity of back-reflected infrared light instead of sound, which is the leading cause of mortality associated with coronary artery disease in the industrialized world.
Journal ArticleDOI
Monitoring osteoarthritis in the rat model using optical coherence tomography
TL;DR: OCT images indicate that injection of sodium iodoacetate resulted in a progressive decrease in cartilage thickness and loss of the bone-cartilage interface which correlated with histology, and the use of OCT in combination with the induction of OA in rats is a promising new animal model for assessing articular changes with the goal of monitoring therapeutics longitudinally.
