Miniaturized optical coherence tomography imaging probe takes pictures inside cerebral arteries

Intravascular imaging using neuro optical coherence tomography (nOCT). The nOCT probe is compatible with standard neurovascular microcatheters, integrating with the procedural workflow used in clinical routine. nOCT captures high-resolution three-dimensional optical data sets providing volumetric microscopy of tortuous cerebral arteries, surrounding structures, and therapeutic devices.

DOI: 10.1126/scitranslmed.adl4497 A large international team of micro-engineers, medical technologists, and neurosurgeons, has designed, built and tested a new type of probe that can be used to take pictures from inside arteries in the brain. In their paper published in Read More
