Abstract

Intravascular optical coherence tomography (OCT) is capable of acquiring 3-dimensional (3D) data of coronary arteries allowing for the assessment of plaques, stents, thrombus, side branches, and other relevant structures in a 3D fashion. Given that state-of-the-art OCT systems acquire images at a very high frame rate (up to 200 frames per second), typically a very large number of images per pullback (ie, 500 or more) need to be analyzed. The manual assessment of stents, plaques, and other structures is time-consuming, cumbersome, and inefficient and thus not suitable for on-line analysis during percutaneous coronary intervention procedures.
