   www3.interscience.wiley.com (Jun 21 2008) Explore Article

   Background and Objectives A combined diffuse reflectance (DR) spectroscopy and doppler optical coherence tomography (DOCT) approach may offer a powerful means for assessment of tissue function, and potentially provide a way for earlier cancer detection through non-invasive local blood supply measurements. The goal of the study was to compare a DR-derived blood-content-related index to a measure of local blood supply flow as furnished by DOCT during manipulations with blood circulation ...

6. In vivo Optical Coherence Tomography Imaging of Preinvasive Bronchial Lesions

   Clinical Cancer Research (Apr 3 2008) Bronchoscopy , Endoscopy Explore Article

   Purpose: Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is an optical imaging method that can visualize cellular and extracellular structures at and below tissue surface. The objective of the study was to determine if OCT could characterize preneoplastic changes in the bronchial epithelium identified by autofluorescence bronchoscopy. Experimental Design: A 1.5-mm fiberoptic probe was inserted via a bronchoscope into the airways of 138 volunteer heavy smokers participating in a chemoprevention trial and 10 ...

11. Innovations in imaging for chronic total occlusions: a glimpse into the future of angiography's blind-spot.

    NCBI HomePage (Feb 2 2008) Cardiology Explore Article

    Chronic total occlusions (CTOs) are a subset of lesions that present a considerable burden to cardiovascular patients. There exists a strong clinical desire to improve non-surgical options for CTO revascularization. While several techniques, devices, and guide wires have been developed and refined for use in CTOs, the inability of angiography to adequately visualize occluded arterial segments makes interventions in this setting technically challenging. This review describes the current status of ... (Read Full Article)
