Abstract

Within this chapter, the research utility of OCT is detailed. Issues like the potential of OCT for plaque characterization are covered. Additionally, a comparative evaluation of OCT with other invasive imaging techniques, as far as plaque components identification is concerned, is attempted. Finally, the role of OCT for the evaluation of plaque progression is discussed as well as its part in the future research arena.
