This is the first book on optical coherence tomography (OCT) for intravascular imaging. OCT has proven a powerful tool for ophthalmologists to make clinical decisions for a wide range of blinding diseases. There are now ~20 million ophthalmic OCT patient scans per year. Intravascular OCT is becoming more commonly used by cardiologists. It provides high resolution cross-sectional viewing for atherosclerotic plaque assessment, stent struts coverage and apposition assessment and in stent restenosis evaluation, and PCI guide and optimization.

A handy, cath-lab side handbook supplemented by hundreds of online movie clips, OCT Made Easy includes case studies, angiography, CT correlations, and simple techniques for getting the best image.
