Abstract

Atherosclerosis is one of the major causes of morbidity and mortality in developed countries. Early detection of plaque lesions is the first and most necessary step in preventing the lethal consequences of atherosclerosis. Currently, most intravascular imaging systems focus on single- or dual-modality imaging which are not enough to provide an accurate characterization of vulnerable plaque. To address this issue, tri-modality imaging system has been developed and shown improved characteristization. This chapter outlines two tri-modality intravascular imaging systems which combine IVUS, OCT, and NIRF imaging together, discusses the design of a tri-modality imaging system and probe, and present representative experimental results.
