This review highlights key advancements in intracoronary imaging technologies, including IVUS and OCT, improving CAD diagnosis and treatment.
Since its early exploration in the 1950s, intracoronary imaging, including intravascular ultrasound (IVUS), optical coherence tomography (OCT), and near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS), has revolutionized our understanding of coronary artery disease and improved percutaneous coronary intervention outcomes. These technologies have continuously evolved, enhancing our ability to diagnose and treat CAD and ultimately leading to better patient outcomes. This review focuses on the history and key developments of IVUS, OCT, and NIRS.
