光学相干断层扫描（OCT）是一种用于大量介入心脏病学程序的成像方式。血管壁内发生的关键结构变化，包括中性粒细胞、巨噬细胞、单核细胞和血管平滑肌细胞的存在，都低于临床冠状动脉内OCT的分辨率。为了解决这一挑战，一种分辨率为1至2 μm的新型OCT被称为微OCT （μOCT）。本文综述了μOCT技术在冠状动脉显微结构可视化中的应用，并讨论了其临床意义。
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is an imaging modality that is used in a significant number of interventional cardiology procedures. Key structural changes occurring within the vessel wall, including presence of neutrophils, macrophages, monocytes, and vascular smooth muscle cells, are below the resolution of clinical intracoronary OCT. To address this challenge, a new form of OCT with 1 to 2 μm resolution, termed micro-OCT (μOCT), has been developed. This review article summarizes the ability of μOCT technology to visualize coronary microstructures and discusses its clinical implications.
