Progress of Intravascular Optical Coherence Tomography Image Technology and Vascular Three-Dimensional Reconstruction

Abstract

Intravascular optical coherence tomography (IV-OCT) is a new intervention imaging technology for the diagnosis of coronary heart disease. Because of its high-resolution and non-invasive characteristics, it is widely used in clinical medicine. It has a revolutionary impact on coronary artery disease diagnosis, prognosis and treatment decisions. This paper studied this hot topic, gave the basic concepts of intravascular OCT image sequences. In accordance with current development studies, the key technology for three-dimensional reconstruction of the coronary vascular system is proposed and analyzed. On this basis, we proposed future research directions on IV-OCT vascular three-dimensional reconstruction, including clinical trial frequency domain OCT (OFDI), the combination of IV-OCT and intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and a preliminary study of intravascular photoacoustic (IVPA) imaging.
