1. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) can successfully identify the characteristics of coronary plaques November 4th, 2007 | by admin | A catheter-based imaging technology called optical coherence tomography (OCT) can successfully identify the characteristics of coronary plaques in patients with various cardiac symptoms. The report from researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) will appear in the journal Circulation. “More than 1.2 million people die from coronary artery disease every yea (Read Full Article)
