光學同調斷層掃描術是一種可提供活體樣本的高解析度模擬成像技術,筆者總結目前心臟血管學科臨床研究結果,認為此技術不僅具有組織學應用的意義,更可提供有關冠狀動脈疾病一個較深入的病理學理解,以及病人專一性的治療方向,未來將在心臟病學領域發揮重要的作用。
Optical Coherence Tomography is a technology that creates high-resolution images from live tissue specimen. The authors provided a summary of recent studies and concluded that this technology may be meaningful in histology, may enable a greater understanding to the pathophysiology of coronary artery disease and patient-specific therapeutic approach, and may have an important role in the future of cardiology.
