About LightLab Imaging

LightLab Imaging.  Cardiology & Endoscopy Systems.  LightLab Imaging is focused on developing Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT). OCT is a new high-resolution high-speed imaging modality that uses advanced photonics for imaging and tissue characterization. Our mission is to help physicians make earlier and more accurate diagnosis of a wide range of diseases including heart disease and cancer.  OCT has been the subject of intensive, worldwide research efforts and is featured prominently at international scientific and medical conferences. LightLab has developed a strong portfolio of fundamental OCT patents.  LightLab employees include pioneers in the development and application of OCT from MIT, Harvard, Lincoln Laboratory and Carl Zeiss, Inc. Company executives and staff also contribute a strong knowledge of heath care and medical device development with significant experience in device development, manufacturing and marketing with companies such as Hewlett-Packard, Agilent Technologies, Boston Scientific and C.R. Bard.  LightLab Imaging has a strong intellectual property position with technology acquired from MIT, Harvard University, Massachusetts General Hospital, Tufts University, Medtronic, and the Zeiss Foundation, as well as numerous internally developed patents.  On July 31st 2002, LightLab Imaging became a subsidiary of Goodman Co. Ltd., a Japanese corporation which has a built a long track record of success in interventional cardiology.

    October 20, 2008 / Washington, DC -- A new imaging technology, Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) popped up in a number of presentations and evening symposia at this year's Transcatheter Cardiovascular Therapeutics meeting (TCT 2008). OCT is very new: one of the two currently available systems was first used in humans only five months ago. OCT image from ODESSA Trial, showing covered and uncovered struts of a drug-eluting stent OCT is ... (Read Full Article)

  4. Novel neointimal formation over sirolimus-eluting stents identified by coronary angioscopy and optical coherence tomography

    ScienceDirect (Oct 19 2008) Cardiology Explore Article

    eointimal proliferation after sirolimus-eluting stent (SES) implantation is generally inhibited by the pharmacological effects of sirolimus in comparison to bare metal stent (BMS). Neointimal hyperplasia after BMS implantation is mainly composed of vascular smooth muscle cells, and is usually observed as a white mass by angioscopy and as a layer of uniform signal intensity without attenuation on optical coherence tomography (OCT). In this case, angioscopic color of the neointima covering ... (Read Full Article)

  5. Clinical relevance of DES implantation problems highlighted by OCT remains unclear

    Cardiovascularbusiness.com (Oct 3 2008) Cardiology Explore Article

    In a first study of its kind, researchers in Japan using serial optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging found that patients with unstable and stable angina have markedly different vascular responses to drug-eluting stents, and that those with unstable angina have greater risk of certain complications. The findings, however, were not associated with adverse outcomes in patients taking dual-antiplatelet therapy. While sirolimus-eluting stents (SES) reduce the need for target-vessel revascularization, they ... (Read Full Article)

  7. Safety and Usefulness of Non-Occlusion Image Acquisition Technique for Optical Coherence Tomography

    jstage.jst.go.jp (Sep 1 2008) Cardiology Explore Article

    Background Because optical coherence tomography (OCT) requires balloon-occlusion to overcome image attenuation by blood, the present study investigated the safety and usefulness of a new non-occlusive technique. Methods and Results The 40 angina patients were assigned to the continuous-flushing method or the balloon-occlusion method group. The continuous-flushing method was superior for observing proximal lesions compared with the balloon-occlusion method (94% vs 55%, p=0.01). There were no differences between groups in ...
