TL;DR
This paper reviews the history and advancements of coronary imaging technologies that have improved heart disease diagnosis and treatment.
Contribution
The paper provides a historical overview and highlights key developments in intracoronary imaging technologies.
Findings
Intravascular ultrasound, optical coherence tomography, and near-infrared spectroscopy have evolved to enhance coronary artery disease management.
These imaging technologies have significantly improved diagnostic accuracy and outcomes in percutaneous coronary interventions.
Abstract
Since its early exploration in the 1950s, intracoronary imaging, including intravascular ultrasound (IVUS), optical coherence tomography (OCT), and near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS), has revolutionized our understanding of coronary artery disease and improved percutaneous coronary intervention outcomes. These technologies have continuously evolved, enhancing our ability to diagnose and treat CAD and ultimately leading to better patient outcomes. This review focuses on the history and key developments of IVUS, OCT, and NIRS.
