Abstract

Obtaining of good-quality image is essential to make accurate measurements. The image should be correctly calibrated for z-offset, the zero-point setting of the system before measurements. The definition of lesion, reference, and stented segment from the Journal of American College of Cardiology intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) consensus document has been adopted for optical coherence tomography (OCT) [1]. For standardization of OCT measurement, expert review documents and consensus standards have been published previously [2–4]. Studies regarding the accuracy and the reproducibility of qualitative and quantitative OCT measurements have been published previously [5–7].
