Coronary Artery Disease
2
• Prevalence: approximately 15 million • Myocardial Infarctions almost 8 million
Mortality • CAD 375 thousand • MI 120 thousand in 2011 AMI results from the blockage of coronary arteries that supply blood to the heart. Caused by thrombus formed by the rupture or erosion of vulnerable plaques within the artery wall. Treatment to restore the blood flow • Thrombolytic therapy • Angioplasty • Coronary artery bypass A method to identify vulnerable plaques prior to eruption or erosion is needed Optical Coherence Tomography offers a method to obtain images with sufficient resolution to characterize the structure of the wall of the coronary artery.

OCT is an imaging modality that forms an image from backscattered light History • First described by Huang in 1991 • Earliest application in retinal imaging • Brezinski et al. demonstrated the method could work in non-transparent medium • ICOCT systems available in 2010 in the US • Used in cardiac catheterization labs today

OCT is based on Michaelson interferometer Light as e field from a low coherence source is split • Es over sample path length ls • Er over reference path length lr • Sum Ed=Er+Es at detector
Ed =Er0*exp(i(2krlr-ωt)) and Es=Es0*exp(i(2ksls-ωt)) Where: • ω-angular frequency • Ks-source propagation constant • Kr-reference propagation constant
Intensity at detector I(t)=<|Er+ES|>^2= Er0^2+Es0^2+Es0*Er0*cos(2ks*Is-2kr*lr) If we let kl=kr=2πn/λ0 interference term= cos(4πn/λ0*Is-lr) • ls-lr is the optical path length difference between the two arms • Introduces a difference in time of arrival at the detector between the 2 waves • Interference signal amplitude varies with difference in path length • Sample scatterers will interfere if within coherence length • If reference mirror is scanned the axial location scatterers in the sample is scanned )

Optical Coherence Tomography
Optical Coherence Tomography
• Coherence length defines resolution • Reference mirror scanned to bring different sample portions within coherence length • Inference signal amplitude determined by scattering intensity • Sample scanned laterally to produce 2D image Fourier domain systems • Fixed reference mirror • Laser light source sweeps and multiple wavelengths • Axial depth information from frequency content of backscatter • Simultaneous acquis on of backscatter information from all depths • Increase in speed
