Validity and Reliability of New Intravascular Ultrasound Analysis Software for Morphological Measurement of Coronary Artery Disease

Clinical validation of a novel software for quantitative analysis of coronary intravascular ultrasound

“…The high reproducibility of CSA measurements reported in this study ( Table 2) is comparable to that previously described [6,13,14]. In the Reversal of Atherosclerosis with Aggressive Lipid Lowering (REVERSAL) trial, the mean differences for lumen and Table 4 Post-hoc volumetric analysis results: comparison of lumen volume, EEM volume, plaque volume and stent volume.…”

Clinical Utility and Significance of Intravascular Ultrasound and Optical Coherence Tomography in Guiding Percutaneous Coronary Interventions

“…21 These findings suggest that differences in the imaging method as well as versions of the imaging modalities may account for the measurement variability between OCT and IVUS. TD-OCT requires proximal balloon occlusion and may decrease coronary perfusion, thereby reducing lumen dimensions.…”

Thin Cap Fibroatheroma Defined as Lipid Core Abutting Lumen (LCAL) on Integrated Backscatter Intravascular Ultrasound – Comparison With Optical Coherence Tomography and Correlation With Peri-Procedural Myocardial Infarction –

“…19 A cross-sectional luminal area was defined as the integrated area central to the intimal leading edge echo. 9,18,20, 21 The total vessel cross-sectional area (vessel area) was defined as the area inside the interface between the plaque-media complex and adventitia (area inside the external elastic membrane).…”
