2. Interstitial Doppler Optical Coherence Tomography as a Local Tumor Necrosis Predictor in Photodynamic Therapy of Prostatic Carcinoma: An In vivo Study

   Cancer Research (Dec 1 2008) Explore Article

   We have tested the feasibility of real-time localized blood flow measurements, obtained with interstitial (IS) Doppler optical coherence tomography (DOCT), to predict photodynamic therapy (PDT)-induced tumor necrosis deep within solid Dunning rat prostate tumors. IS-DOCT was used to quantify the PDT-induced microvascular shutdown rate in s.c. Dunning prostate tumors (n = 28). Photofrin (12.5 mg/kg) was administered 20 to 24 hours before tumor irradiation, with 635 nm surface irradiance of ... (Read Full Article)

9. Combined MRI/OCT for Image Guidance of CTOs

   sunnybrook.ca (Mar 21 2008) Cardiology Explore Article

   Chronic Total Occlusions (CTOs) are generally defined as occlusions within an artery of 1 month or older. Chronic total occlusions begin as thrombus but gradually become heavily cross-linked collagen as they age. Traditionally the lack of an effective guidance means, as well as the high restenosis rate of CTOs, has made minimally invasive catheter-based intervention difficult. As a result, these cases are mostly sent to bypass surgery. With the advent ... (Read Full Article)

12. 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)
