<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system, process, and software arrangement to determine data associated with at least one structural change of tissue for detecting a vulnerable plaque and understanding its relationship with acute myocardial infarction. <P>SOLUTION: A first optical coherence tomography ('OCT') signal which contains first information regarding the tissue at a first stress level, and a second OCT signal which contains second information regarding the tissue at a second stress level are received. The first and second information are compared to produce comparison information. The data associated with the at least one structural change is determined as a function of the comparison information and further information associated with (i) at least one known characteristics of the tissue and/or (ii) characteristics of an OCT system. Further, at least one optical coherence tomography ('OCT') signal which contains information regarding the tissue is received, and the modulus of the tissue is determined as a function of the received at least one OCT signal. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT</p> |
