Abstract
Intravascular imaging is an important tool in the arsenal of each interventional cardiologist. A multitude of imaging modalities are available to help understand coronary arterial and plaque morphology. While angiography provides a two-dimensional image of a three-dimensional structure, intravascular imaging enhances understanding by providing detailed cross-sectional images. The imaging modalities used often include intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT). Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is also available, although not widely used.
